Long journeys can be physically and mentally demanding. FlashCars Ltd. drivers use the following methods to stay alert:

Adequate rest: Getting enough sleep before and during driving is crucial. A tired driver's reaction time slows down, which increases the risk of accidents. At FlashCars Ltd, we make it a priority to ensure that our employees are well rested when they hit the road.

Regular stops: For long journeys, it's worth taking short breaks to reduce fatigue. A ten-minute walk or light exercise can help to refresh both body and mind.

Hydration: Drinking enough fluids helps prevent fatigue caused by dehydration. Especially in summer, it is essential that drivers carry enough water with them.

Mental freshness: Listening to music, a podcast or an audiobook can break up monotonous journeys. It's important that they don't distract from driving, but can provide pleasant company during long hours.
