Temperatures are set to top 30 degrees in the UK this week. It’s vital that drivers keep hydrated at the wheel. Look at some of the effects of Dehydrated Driving; seem familiar? It’s a lot of the same problems as drunk driving or drug driving or driving when highly fatigued.

So before you set off:

- Drink some water or squash
- Tea or Coffee helps with caffeine but can be a false friend
- Bring a bottle of non-alcoholic drink with you on your journey
- Stop for regular breaks on long journeys
- Use your air-con BUT a/c dries the air as well as cools so adds to dehydration
- Don’t forget your sunglasses
- If in doubt, STOP. Delayed is better than damaged.

Keep safe everyone.
