On the road, one of the dangers is falling asleep at the wheel.

To avoid this, there are several solutions.

One of the best things to do is to think about preparing a playlist with your favorite titles, advises the Prevention Insurance association.

A way to stay awake while having a good time.

On the road, beware of drowsiness so as not to fall asleep at the wheel.

To avoid it, one of the things to do is to think about preparing a playlist with your favorite titles.

This is what the Association Assurance Prévention advises.

Everyone has their own technique for staying awake.

Rhythmic music

Suitcases in the trunk, belt buckled.

Renaud is about to travel 500 kilometers between Strasbourg and Lyon.

And off we go, with metal in the ears.

"There are very slow, very soft tracks. So that's not what I'm going to put in. I'm more into slightly rhythmic tracks," explains the conductor.

Something to keep your ears and eyes open.

Like one in two French people, Alexandre has also slipped podcasts into his playlist.

"But that's not ideal. If we're tired, it cuts our attention on the road a bit. So when I'm really tired, I put on electro. With that, it's impossible to fall asleep “, smiled the young man.

Take regular breaks

The most important thing is to choose music that you like and know.

This was understood by the program director at Radio Vinci Autoroutes, Gilles Ravard Hinault.

"We are going to target things that are quite obvious from the first bars and that make you sing. When you hear the music you love, it's even better to stay awake because it affects us directly. It's like when you watch TV, we fall asleep in front of a program that we do not like.

Even if the best way to fight against drowsiness at the wheel is of course to take regular breaks.
