The Cars

Driving is very much a part of our lives that the idea of not doing so simply just doesn’t cross our minds. Apart that is from when we have had a drink then we all know that our mental faculties are too impaired to allow us to drive. However, when our mental faculties are impaired because we’re tired, unwell, taking prescription drugs or simply growing older many of us do not believe that we should stop driving until we recover. This is even though to do so could lead to us having a really serious car crash.

Driving whilst too tired to be safe is something that virtually everyone has done. This is especially dangerous 20% of all car accidents within the UK occur when tired people try to drive. It does not matter how short or familiar the journey is you should not drive when exhausted. If you are blinking more than normal that is a good sign that you are too fatigued to drive safely. No matter how fresh you are when you set out on a long journey remember to take regular breaks to ensure you do not become too exhausted during the journey. Stopping every 2 hours or so is recommended.

If you are on medication of any kind check the instructions, if they say do not operate heavy machinery or drive whilst taking this medication you should not drive whilst taking it. Even some cold and flu medications can cause drowsiness; if any medication makes you feel drowsy you should not be driving.

There are many illnesses which can impair your ability to drive, these include epilepsy, some heart diseases, some mental illnesses like manic depression and diseases that impact on your ability to move freely such as MS or severe arthritis. Most of the time your doctor will advice you if they feel that that you should consider not driving whilst sick. Yet, even if they do not specifically mention it is wise for you to raise the topic it is better to be safe rather than sorry.

It can be tempting to neglect these things and keep on driving, but once your ailment leads to your erratic driving causing a serious accident not only may your insurance not take care of any damage you will also find yourself in trouble with the law. When you consider you could lose your life or worse take that of another person in an auto-mobile accident driving a vehicle when you are not safe to do so really is not really worth the risk.
