In case of a second or instant sleep (Micro-sleep), there is a high risk of the car pulling into the opposite lane and directly colliding with heavy vehicles. ​Lane Discipline and Control on Wet Roads: Driving at a controlled speed on the left side of your lane is mandatory as the road surface becomes slippery when it rains. Never exceed the middle white line. Stopping the car and resting as soon as you feel tired: If you feel tired or sleepy, stopping the car and resting in a safe place without stopping until an accident is essential to save life. In case of an accident, call 1990 Suvasaria Ambulance Service immediately.
