Driving a car is to be careful. And it turns out, not only when drunk alcohol just so dangerous driving activity. For a recent study revealed that when the flu, the risk of someone when driving while intoxicated with liquor.
As reported by Car Advice, in a British study recently revealed that the driver who has the flu can be just as dangerous as drivers under the influence of alcohol.
According to the study, flu symptoms can contribute to the slow reaction of the driver to take action, quick to feel fatigue, and lack of concentration.
Moreover, patients usually have flu symptoms such as watery eyes and swollen that it feared would interfere with vision and provide characteristics such as a drunken man.
The study also outlines that every time someone sneezes usually takes about 2-3 seconds.
So, if the driver was driving at the speed of 110 km / h on the highway and when it sneezes, then the driver as well as driving at the speed of 91 km / h but with eyes closed.
Above all, the risk of driving when suffering from colds could be more dangerous if you have to take medicine because most colds and flu medicines contain a decongestant that can cause drowsiness and slow muscles react.
So if you are cold, just ask someone else to drive.
