ROAD HEALTH AND SAFETY

In the interest of your health and in order to travel safely, we recommend you do the following before you undertake the journey:

• Make detailed plans of the journey and check the state of your vehicle
• Consult your doctor if you are suffering from some chronic illness
• Check whether the medications you are taking can make you sleepy or whether they can slow your reactions
• Do not go on the trip and do not continue it if you have taken alcohol, because alcohol reduces your driving abilities. If you have taken alcohol, your reactions will be slower and you will be less cautious.
• Avoid traveling between midnight and 6 a.m. when you probably will not be completely awake and completely cautious.
• Avoid driving even for a short time around noon, when temperatures can be very high. We recommend the clothes you wear to be light and sweat-absorbing.
• Rest for 15 minutes every two hours; when resting take some refreshments (light meals and enough water or non-alcoholic drinks)
• If you feel tired or sleepy during the trip, stop at the first safe place.
• Rest for at least 15-20 minutes
• The use of a safety belt is obligatory; younger children must have a children's chair adapted for use in vehicles.
• Pay attention to traffic signs and signalization; adapt your speed and driving manner to road conditions; adhere to speed limit; maintain distance from other vehicles; pay special attention to pedestrians and children; pay attentions to bicyclists and motorists.
