Well-planned journeys could reduce car accident claims

We receive numerous car accident claims from people that have suffered serious personal injuries as a result of car accidents caused by drivers that shouldn't have been on the road at all.

Many drive long distances to and from work each day and others embark on cross-country trips, especially at the weekends and during the holidays, but a badly planned journey can result in disaster.

British roads are home to thousands of drunk drivers and drivers that haven't even passed their driving test, but the majority of road accidents are caused by those motorists that are just far too tired to be behind the wheel.

So, here's a bit of advice to help all you weary motorists drive more safely:

• Get good a night's sleep the night before you are planning a long distance journey.

• Always plan your journey, allowing for rest breaks at service stations at regular intervals along the way.

• Make sure that your rest breaks last a minimum of 15 minutes so that you can rejuvenate, and also try to take a little walk around to get the blood pumping through your tired muscles.

• Make sure that you drink plenty of water so that you stay hydrated and alert and have a snack to keep your energy levels up, but avoid anything too sugary.

• Drive with the windows open so that there is a constant supply of fresh air flowing through the car.

• If you're travelling with passengers that can also drive you could share the driving between you.

• If driving alone keep the radio on low so that it keeps your mind active but doesn't distract you.
