ISLAMABAD: When Muslims throughout the world spend the holy month of Ramadan, it is vital that they take extra measures behind the wheel. As changes in their eating, drinking, and sleeping habits may impair their performance.
DIG North Motorway Zone Muhammad Yosuf Malik emphasised that drivers may experience fatigue, drowsiness, or weakness when behind the wheel. Before embarking on a lengthy journey, medical professionals advise persons with underlying health concerns. Such as diabetes, to take additional precautions.
To ensure a safe trip, drivers should prioritise adequate sleep and rest before embarking on long travels. They should also stop at a safe spot to rest if they become fatigued or sleepy during the ride. It is also vital to plan trips to reduce driver fatigue and ensure safe arrival at the destination.
In addition, drivers should always wear seatbelts, adhere to traffic laws, avoid speeding, and maintain a constant focus on the road. Drivers can dial the helpline 130 in the event of an emergency or if they require assistance.
By adhering to these principles, drivers can assure a safe and pleasurable trip throughout these wonderful days.
