Long holiday journeys begin before you even leave home. In the Hospodářské noviny podcast, Pavel Řezáč explains why proper preparation and rest are essential for safe driving.
How should drivers prepare for long holiday journeys, and why is leaving immediately after a demanding working day not the best idea? These and other topics were discussed by Pavel Řezáč, Director of the Division of Transport Technologies and Human Factors at the Transport Research Centre, in the Hospodářské noviny Morning Briefing podcast.
During the interview, he explained that many risks arise before the journey even begins. Drivers often set off already fatigued, underestimate the importance of regular breaks, and fail to anticipate traffic congestion and high temperatures. He also stressed that the first signs of fatigue should never be ignored.
