Ramadan: A Time for Moderation and Responsible Driving
During the month of Ramadan, a period conducive to moderation and self-control, the National Agency for Energy Management (ANME) warns about the economic and security consequences of aggressive driving. This still widespread practice heavily weighs on the budget of motorists.
The Consequences of Aggressive Driving
According to data released by the ANME, abrupt and uncontrolled driving leads to a significant overconsumption of fuel, which can exceed 30%. This also accelerates the wear and tear of brakes, tires, and the engine. Furthermore, there is a substantial increase in the risk of accidents, with often severe human and material consequences.
Adopting a Smooth and Responsible Driving Style
In a context marked by increasing daily expenses, the agency reminds us that adopting a smooth and responsible driving style not only reduces costs but also preserves road safety. This reminder takes on its full meaning during the month of Ramadan, where patience and vigilance are essential, particularly during peak hours, which tend to extend.
