Have You Heard of the ‘Rebound Effect’ by COYS RENT-A-CAR

Stimulants like coffee give a false sense of alertness while driving, but when the effect fades… the crash can be even worse than the original tiredness.

What Is It

After caffeine wears off, you may suddenly feel:

Extreme drowsiness

Difficulty focusing

Slower reaction time

Strange discomfort or blurred vision

Microsleeps — a few seconds of sleeping while driving!

Why Coffee Isn’t the Solution

2+ cups = False confidence behind the wheel

Alertness drops fast after the stimulant fades

Especially dangerous on long, monotonous motorway drives

DGT Warning

Caffeine does not replace real rest.

Don’t trust energy drinks or coffee to keep you safe!

How to Prevent It

Sleep well before driving

Take a break every 2 hours or 200 km

Avoid large meals before driving

Keep the car cool and ventilated

REMEMBER

Don’t push yourself. Pull over and rest.

Fatigue kills. Stay alert. Stay alive.
