High air temperatures and atmospheric pressure fluctuations increase the risk of overexertion and loss of concentration, which can lead to traffic accidents.
Under such weather conditions, it is important for all road users to constantly monitor their well-being. It is necessary to drink plenty of water and spend less time in direct sunlight during peak hours (from 12:00 to 16:00). Those who are weather-sensitive and suffer from cardiovascular diseases should refrain from travelling unless absolutely necessary, and if this is not possible, they should take their necessary medications with them.
At the first signs of malaise or drowsiness, pull over off the road into the shade, rest, and splash cool water on your face.
Under no circumstances should children or animals be left alone in a car. The car interior heats up so intensely under the scorching sun that a life-threatening temperature will be reached within 15-20 minutes.
The State Automobile Inspectorate is focused on assisting road users who find themselves in difficult situations.
