Weather of Arabia - You may be a little surprised, when you learn that thirst while driving a car is very dangerous for the driver's safety, especially in hot summer days and high temperatures , where scientists likened it to the effect of alcohol or drugs on humans.

Thirst alerts the person that the body needs fluids to lose them from the body, which may lead to poor mental performance, inability to adequately perceive and change in mood, as well as decreased concentration and alertness.

This negatively affects the person's driving of the car; Which increases the errors that lead to the occurrence of road accidents at a rate of double, according to a British study published its results in the Journal of "Physiology and Behavior" earlier.

The study, conducted by researchers at the British "Loughborough" University, monitored the dangers of not drinking water while driving, and found that drivers who drink about 25 milliliters of water every hour of driving, make twice the mistakes made by those who drink about 200 milliliters of water per hour.

The study also warned against driving in a hot car during the summer and high temperatures , for fear of increasing the body's loss of water in large quantities throughout the journey, which exacerbates the effects of people who do not drink a large amount of fluids.
