Dealing with the extreme summer weather (Heat and Sunshine)
Constant sun in your eyes cab be
exhausting on a long journey and may well affect your concentration. Even if you
do not feel the need, the correct sunglasses can reduce the glare and keep your
eyes efficient for longer. Avoid looking directly into the sun.
Take plenty of breaks and refreshment
on a long trip. Never stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway when you feel
tired. Instead, use the service areas or get off the motorway.
Oil and water can make the hot
surface of the road slippery and dangerous, particularly if there is a sudden
rain shower after a long dry spell. Take extra care: watch your speed and
keep your distance.
