The Odisha State Transport Authority (STA) issued this alert as accident numbers rise on long highway routes. Officials say that driving continuously for more than two and a half hours increases the chance of road hypnosis. In this state, the driver’s mind slips into an automated mode, while reflexes slow down, creating high risk on open, monotonous roads.

STA urges drivers to take short breaks, stretch, drink water, and stay alert. They also suggest avoiding overnight travel and sharing driving responsibilities on long trips. The goal is to keep drivers focused and prevent accidents caused by fatigue.

This awareness message encourages every driver to understand the signs of road hypnosis and act early. Staying alert, taking rest, and driving responsibly can save lives.
