Be aware you are at risk of road accidents when driving while suffering from the Flu. It has been found people who drive with heavy colds or the flu took 10% longer to react than healthy drivers. This caused them to travel over two extra metres at 60mph before they started to brake. Also they were less aware of many deadly hazards. If you feel ill don’t drive.

Experts have also claimed many cold remedies available without prescription can cause drowsiness.

Department of transport states that 93 fatal road accidents on the UK roads in 2007 were due to illness.

Illness impairs your driving ability, causing slow reactions, reduces observations and limits good judgements.

Keep in Bed, NOT Behind the Wheel!
