Dubai, United Arab Emirates, -Thursday 16 May 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]

The second week of the Road Safety Awareness Campaign, carrying the hashtag #HappyNotHastyRamadan, focuses on making motorists aware and understand the effects of fasting to the body during Ramadan so that they can overcome the challenges of driving.

The Holy Month of Ramadan requires lifestyle changes due to adjustments in work, sleep, and eating habits.  Fasting can reach up to 14 hours without even so much as drinking.  So just imagine how it can affect the vital functions of the body not just physically but mentally.

The obvious results would be dehydration and low blood sugar that can lead to fatigue, exhaustion, distraction, inattentiveness, irritation, etc., thus making Ramadan the peak season for traffic accidents.  Knowing these effects can help motorists come up with precautionary measures to cushion the outcome and avoid getting into and causing an accident.
