How to Avoid Drowsy Driving


Drowsy driving is one of the major causes of accidents. If you want to avoid taking your car to an Auto Body in Victoria BC, you would want to always be alert when driving. Here are the things you can do. 
1. Use your car’s sound system to keep you alert. 
When driving alone, you become more susceptible to drowsy driving. Try listening to upbeat music. If you feel sleepy, you can also sing along to the music to distract your mind off of your drowsy feelings.
2. Get some sleep. 
If you really lack sleep and you are in danger of falling asleep when behind the wheels, try taking a short nap. Even 20 minutes of nap can go a long way in improving mental alertness.
3. Load up on caffeine.
Grab a cup of Joe or soda. The caffeine in these drinks can help boost mental alertness. Experts say drinking coffee before taking a nap can boost the effects of the nap.
4. Avoid eating a heavy meal before driving. 
A full stomach can make you even sleepier so make sure you only eat a small meal if you’re going to drive for a long time. Drink plenty of water instead. The urge to go to the bathroom can help keep you awake.
If your car is damaged due to drowsy driving, take it to a collision repair expert. An auto body in Victoria BC such as Perfections Custom Paint & Autobody LTD will help get rid of the signs of damage in your car.
