A run of last-minute purchases for the rest, the pressured trips to the homes of friends and family, the typical food exaggerations of this time of year, or consumption, sometimes exaggerated, of alcohol, or returning home after the party, many times even in the early hours of the morning... A passage of the year is a propitious occasion for conviviality and A moment of joy and party, but, as we all realize, it can lead to various excesses. Learn the advice of Help Flash to mitigate the risks and transform this moment that must be: a celebration.
The first advice is regarding rest. You should only start the outward journey, but, especially, on the return trip, be alert with all your senses and never drink alcoholic beverages. Many times we are not able to evaluate properly or in fact, we judge that we are bem, but our capacity to react is diminished and our senses are “numbed”.
This effect is enhanced by tired and tired hair, so it is preferable to sleep for a few hours, rest a little, and only after going outside. Never resist fatigue, in the last case drive to another passageway that is more alert.
If the trip is longer, it can be divided into stages. You should make the most of the nights you sleep in (1 to 2 hours of hard sleep per night, equivalent to a light night after 4 to 5 days).
During the trip, keep the vehicle secure and adopt a comfortable position on the steering wheel. You should still stop for 10 minutes every 2 to 3 hours of driving to get out of the vehicle, stop and do some simple movements.
Do not set check-in times, be flexible with your travel time and stay calm. It is not clear that this period coincides with the return of Portuguese bus fairs and that a greater accumulation of traffic is expected at some more “critical” points.
If you ride a motorcycle, do not facilitate it. Even though the trip is short, there is no need to wear resistant protective clothing and retro-reflective material. Always circulate as the means of access (same day), pay close attention in low-time conditions, there is no doubt that as the road traffic is reduced and visibility increases very sharply.
Até por isso, never esqueça, be sure to stop at the shoulder of the road and signal carefully to maneuver and your position. Before leaving the vehicle to place the obligatory triangle, activate your Help Flash and do not show any clothing or reflective tail. Keep in mind that, on these occasions, it is important to see how to be seen.
Follow the safety tips of Help Flash and have a Happy 2023.
