Lagos drivers are the ones who need this most because they work longer, close at wee hours and still would have to drive themselves home |

This post is copied from Wiki How. Nigerians knows it is not safe to travel by night in there country, and when they do; they don't put on there interior light. best solution: sleep well before driving. when driving, get busy with something of interest. personally, I don't like Chewing gum. 1 Like |

Most of the eating items listed are foreign which are not easily available here. I think the applicability of the suggested methods depend on distance of the journey. A method you can successfully used in a distance of Lagos to Ibadan may fail in Lagos to Yola. |

Re: How to Stay Awake When Driving (Photos) by Nobody: 8:27am On May 22, 2016 |
DjAndroid:what works for me is just playing any random CD, turn off the ac and bring the two front windows down and always change speeds and not maintain a particular one else u'd be so used to it and doze off. All this techniques are if you are driving automatic o. Once in a while I still do bring my hand out of the window. I stopped blaming all the drivers who drive long distance who drink alcohol the day I traveled from abuja to owerri. and another thing, make sure whoever is in front with u is not sleeping, else with time, ur body will start feeling sleepy too, and before u know it, ur head is moving front and back. |

Nature demands that we sleep. If you feel really sleepy, please Park your vehicle somewhere safe and take a nap. Life has no duplicate. Don't endanger your life and that of others. |

AutosBay, where did you learn to drive?? The correct thing to do if you're feeling tired whilst driving, is to find a safe place to park, and get some sleep. Attempting to keep awake by any of the methods you've posted are dangerous. It is still possible to fall asleep, and be involved in an RTA. Or stay awake, but your senses could be impaired, causing your mind to wander, with catastrophic consequences. 4 Likes |

Re: How to Stay Awake When Driving (Photos) by Philadelphia: 9:59am On May 22, 2016 |
Op, all your points are hazards on their own and I advise anyone reading this thread to desist from attempting to do them. The only remedy to staying awake while driving is to get plenty of sleep at least 24 hours before embarking on any long distance journey. God who created sleep did not create any panacea to it. The only cure for sleep is "sleep". In the event of you driving and you feel sleepy, pullover to somewhere safe and answer the call of nature (sleep). However, before embarking on any journey, think incident free by; 1.) Training (you must have been trained on how to drive and must know how to drive). 2.) Planning the journey. Know the route alternate routes, road and weather conditions, your stops if necessary (eg mechanics, police stations, fuel stations, eatery or marts, etc). 3.) State of mind: Be physically and emotionally sound to start and finish the journey. Don't drive if you're sick or if you are angry or overly joyed. 4.) Proper tools and equipments: Check your vehicle conditions and safety gadgets in the vehicle (triangular reflector, indicators, fire extinguisher, lights, spare tyre, jack, seat belt, tire, etc). 5.) TRUST in God. This appears last on the list but it is the most important. NB: Whoever drives and gets home safely is the one that completed the journey. "Welcome" is told to people on arrival. Not on the road or at hospital, but at home. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Siena: Which goes to show you how dangerous the internet is. Everybody is now an expert on issues. The worst part is most people don't care what the source of the information is. They follow blindly. If there is information on Nairaland about eating dog poo, i guarantee you someone on NL will say "nice post" and actually do it. What a bunch of dumb mofos. |
