Juan José Ebenezer, a mechanic, warned about a common mistake that drivers make during summer: getting in the car, turning on the air conditioning, and closing the doors. According to him, this practice represents a risk to drivers' safety.
In summer, high temperatures become an additional risk factor for drivers. The Directorate General for Traffic (DGT) revealed that excess heat inside the vehicle can increase the risk of having an accident by up to 20%.
According to the DGT, excessive heat inside the car promotes the onset of fatigue, reduces reflexes, and increases the driver's reaction time, which significantly compromises the ability to drive safely.
