Feeling tired behind the wheel this bank holiday? Take a break!
The RSA and Applegreen have teamed up to offer free coffee to motorists from 2pm to 8pm on Friday 23 and Monday 26 October, helping drivers stay alert and tackle driver fatigue.
Driving when tired can impair your concentration, reaction time and ability to drive safely. If you’re feeling tired, don’t push through it. Pull over somewhere safe and take a break.
☕ Here’s a tip: Have a caffeinated drink and take a 15 minute nap to help you feel more alert before continuing your journey. by then the caffeine will have kicked in.
😴 Remember, caffeine is only a temporary aid. If you’re chronically fatigued or very tired, sleep is the only real solution.
Plan ahead, take regular breaks and make sure you’re fit to drive. Arriving safely is always worth the extra time.
