You must have heard road mishaps that happened
because the driver slept off while driving. These calamities usually happen
after only a few seconds winks. There are other circumstances whereby, the
driver sleeps briefly in traffic only to be woken up by the irrational honking
of fellow road users. This is a frequent occurrence in Lagos traffic. The
reason for this is not farfetched. It is because many Nigerians don’t sleep.
You arrive home after a long night indulgence at a hotel
in Lagos yet, you have to drive to Abeokuta the following
day. Not to worry. You can successfully drive to anywhere in Nigeria and still
stay away if you apply these tricks to be shared by Jumia Travel.
This will help you stay safe behind the wheels.
Make regular
stops
You should
make frequent stops during a long drive to stretch your legs whether you are
alone in the car or not. This stops will keep you more alert when you restart
your trip. Importantly, be mindful of where you stop. It is better to stop at
fueling stations or restaurants.
Avoid
driving after midnight
If you are
still behind the wheels after midnight, it is advisable you temporarily halt
the trip and lodge in a hotel. Normally, our body is built to sleep around that
time. So, to avoid any accident, just search for a
hotel wherever you and pass the night there.
Drive with a friend
This is perhaps the best way to stay awake during any drive. This
is because you can chat with your friend. And your friend can also take your
place whenever you are tired.
Chew gum and
let the music play
Chewing gum
and music can help you keep your eyes on the road. So, do not hesitate to buy gum and
play your favourite music. It doesn’t have to be music. But at least something
should be playing in your car to distract you.
Don’t drink
alcohol
Many drivers think that drinking
alcohol will make them very alert behind the wheels. Yes you
may be alert but you be overly aggressive and drive recklessly. By the way,
drivers driving under the influence of alcohol should not be allowed near a
car. This could cost him his life.
