The Holy Month of Ramadan is a time of endless blessings for everyone to purify their selves and exchange good will.
Though Ramadan can offer a number of health benefits, we know that fasting has physiological and psychological effects. Fasting can cause temporary low blood sugar, which drastically affects attentiveness, concentration, vision and action/reaction. Especially this Ramadan in peak time of summer can lead easily to dehydration and fatigue.
Lesser hours of sleep, irregular meal times and evenings with full of prayers, social gatherings and events affect our ability to be alert and focused when driving. This extra stress on our body causes fatigue and diminishes the ability to drive efficiently. Once fatigue sets in while driving, the only option is to stop the vehicle at a safe place, far from the road, as soon as possible.
To ensure safe driving, the safety of our passengers and other road users during Ramadan, we need to be aware of our own fatigue as well as other drivers' around.
