The driver is starving
Many drivers feel hungry, which leads to fatigue and reduced concentration. To avoid this, some people prefer to eat in the car, which is no less dangerous, Renault driving school instructors warn.
Hunger is a common cause of impaired concentration and can pose a real threat to both the driver and others. 
participants in the movement. Eating and drinking while driving, which more than 60% of drivers admit, is not an option. Studies show that eating while driving increases the risk of a serious accident, just like talking on the phone, the risk of an accident increases significantly, says Zbigniew Veseli, director of the Renault driving school. Two percent of respondents admit to being so distracted by food or drink that they suddenly had to brake or turn to avoid a dangerous traffic accident*.
Adequate eating habits should be extremely important for drivers. Just as important as rest. Before embarking on a long journey, try to avoid heavy, fatty foods that slow down and increase drowsiness, and choose foods that are easy to digest and rich in slow-release ingredients. It is best to eat several small meals every 3 hours during the tour. Eggs are a good breakfast idea because they fill you up for a long time and don't weigh you down like many other fatty foods. Snacks taken in the car are best hidden in the trunk so that you do not eat them on the way, but only during designated stops. People are living faster and faster, which undoubtedly contributes to an alarmingly high percentage of drivers who prefer to eat while driving. However, mindful of our own safety and the safety of other road users, we must make sure that whenever we are hungry, we find time to stop and rest at the same time, the Renault driving school coaches summarize.
