What can we do while waiting in traffic jams?

Para muchos amantes del motor, la conducción es todo un placer. El placer de recorrer la carretera con su coche favorito es un hobby del que disfrutan en su tiempo libre y lo compaginan con largos viajes. No obstante, durante estos viajes se suelen encontrar a uno de sus mayores enemigos: los atascos.

Roadblocks are a common source of nerves and frustration among drivers. This slows down traffic, causing our plans to go down the drain due to the time lost in them. If you do not want to lose your temper, you can follow these recommendations we give you to better cope with these annoying traffic jams.

Make the most of your time in traffic jams

First and foremost, we must bear in mind that we must not lose our nerves or our concentration on our driving, as we may hinder traffic even more. One of the most common pastimes in traffic jams is the radio. Depending on taste, there are drivers who prefer to listen to music music to keep their attention. Others, however, prefer news channels to keep abreast of current events. In any case, as long as it does not distract us too much from driving, we can look for a station that entertains us.

Stops are also a good time to rest. Tension at the wheel causes wear and tear on our body that has very important effects on our driving. This causes our reaction speed to slow down. Therefore, these 'empty' moments in our driving can be used to make ourselves comfortable and place the armchair. In addition, we can place the headrest in a good position to act in case of an accident and adjust the rear-view mirrors so as not to strain the neck.

What we must be clear about, however, is that we must avoid the cell phone. This electronic device is a major cause of accidents, as it distracts from the road. To keep it under control, we must use Bluetooth connection devices linked to our car. To have a conversation with someone, take the opportunity to chat with your companions or call someone on the phone to talk, without losing attention on the road and always through the device in the car.
