Jakarta –
Driving while drowsy can cause accidents. This incident happened to soap opera actor Mandala Shoji on the Cibubur Toll Road, Jakarta, Wednesday (3/4/2024).
In the video shared by his personal Instagram account @mandalabadishoji, it can be seen that the car was damaged on the right side area. The right side of the 2011 white Toyota Vellfire looks damaged.
As previously reported by detikHot, Mandala Shoji was driving the Vellfire alone because the driver had already gone home to his yard. He admitted that his body was not fit when he was driving.
“I’m a little sleepy, maybe yes. I said it was really sore. Just as I was saying that, suddenly a car in front of the big box suddenly braked, I was really shocked and immediately swerved to the right, if I was still for a split second, the box would have gone through the glass and it would have all shattered. “Well, we are really shocked,” said Mandala Shoji in the Pasar Minggu area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (3/4/2024) evening.
The incident did not cause any casualties. Mandala Shoji is grateful that his family is still in good condition.
“I didn’t care about the car, I immediately looked at my wife’s child. My child was crying in shock, my mother was also shocked when she just woke up, but I saw that she was fine,” he said.
“I was shocked when I got out of the car. I saw that my wife and children were fine and when I saw the car it was destroyed. Thank God, everything is okay,” said Mandala Shoji.
The dangers of driving while sleepy
Driving safety practitioner and Director of Training Safety Defensive Consultant Indonesia (SDCI) Sony Susmana said that driving is actually a job that requires high concentration. Of course, if a driver is sleepy it will have a big impact on his concentration level.
“This is related to brain function. When you are sleepy, the brain rests, so it cannot carry out its functions. Well, the thought process is lost,” explained Sony recently.
Sony added that drowsiness is a trigger for accidents. Even if the vehicle is not being driven at high speed but the driver is sleepy, accidents can happen.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowsiness usually occurs when the driver does not get enough sleep. Drowsiness can also occur due to untreated sleep disorders or fatigue during activities. Then it can also be influenced by drugs that are sold freely on the market.
The impact of drowsiness affects the ability to drive safely, including:
There is not a single substance in the world that can replace the restorative effect of sleep. Humans experience sleepiness. When drowsiness appears, it is better to rest and not do other activities such as driving. Because driving requires high focus.
Sony urges drivers not to force themselves when driving and to rest after driving for 3 hours. This is necessary so that there are no unwanted things when driving.
“Never force yourself to drive for more than 3 hours and make sure you get optimal rest. Don’t just depend on the rest area,” explained Sony.
