Most sincere greetings ! With high Respect to Germany traffic safety on the highroads! I am an ordinary driver out of my experience I would like to share certain researches conclusions that I believe would help securitu on motorroads! I found out for myself that there is a serious “LIE” that most of the drivers uncosiosly believe and act on it which coses car accidents on the highways due to lack of sleep! This lie cosed many to fool themselves to the point of unwillinglu comiting -so to say suicide without knowing! Or what will happen NEXT! Please take a NOTE to what I will reveal ! IT IS NOT THAT MAN CONTROLES THE BODY -THE BODY SWITCHES OFF THE MAN! COMPLETELY... When it is very tired -excosted it hase dominion over the Man and it’s conciousnes and COMPLETELY switches of the Man as a being! This is the body sends the man in sleep! And it is not othervise!!! People think that “They are the ones that will tell the body when it goes to sleep” So now it is not time for that ! I will by The “Power of my Will” keep the body not to sleep! And this is where they mistake! And to test themselves when this time of the body switchim them off is close they can do this simple test! With Attention to : slowly but also not very ... to turn the head with the eyes left and put it back on the road with the eyes looking in front! If the picture they are looking in front is unstable -so to say, moving left, right, up and down and needs several seconds to stabilise this is alarming sign to stop the driving and park!!! Also another important Note is that if the man is very exosted or lack sleep -drinking coffee will not help him being more conscious but at the opposite it will worsen his ability to drive! This will actually make the man very dizzy!!! Very , very dizzy!!! He wil have problems with the centar of mantaining balance in the brain!!! Sincerelly a driver from Skopje, NR of Macedonia! Mr. Nikola Kovachev -a driver since 1993!
