During periods of intense heat, it is essential to take precautions to ensure safe driving. Hydration, ventilating the vehicle, and taking breaks in the shade are simple but effective measures to reduce risks.
Intense heat can pose dangers while driving. To ensure optimal safety, several measures are recommended:

- Take frequent breaks, ideally in the shade, to cool down

These simple actions help reduce heat-related risks, including heatstroke and concentration disorders.
