HAK RECOMMENDATIONS

Due to crowds and summer temperatures, we suggest that you do not drive towards the coast on Saturday morning. Drive rather in the afternoon or evening, due to lower temperatures, but also due to lower traffic. In direction interior, avoid Sunday afternoon.

In order to make the journey easier for ourselves and our companions, it's important to:
• have a sufficient amount of liquid (preferably water or non-carbonated juices);
• rest and stop regularly at designated rest areas;
• properly regulate the air conditioning in the vehicle;
• be well informed;
• enjoy going on vacation.

In addition to these facts, we must not forget our tin pet, which has to be prepared for the ride during summer, or when longer trips are considered. In case you still have problems with your vehicle, our mechanics and towing drivers are on duty day and night. By calling 1987, every driver in trouble will receive roadside assistance in case of a vehicle breakdown.

If you notice that one of your companions is not feeling well due to the heat, seek professional help immediately. Ambulance vehicles are located on Croatian motorways at certain locations.

The first and most serious symptom of heat stroke is fainting. Other symptoms are:
• severe headache and dizziness;
• discomfort;
• anxiety and confusion;
• red, warm and dry skin;
• rapid pulse, rapid and shallow breathing;
• fever 40 ° C;
• disturbance or complete loss of consciousness.
