Many
people fast between the hours
of sunrise and sunset during
the Moslem holy month of Ramazan (Ramadan).
They
eat no food, drink no water, tea,
coffee or any other beverage, and
do not smoke.
This
temporary lack of food and stimulants
may have a deleterious
effect on levels of alertness,
particularly for persons driving
trucks, buses, taxis and cars.
For dates
of Ramazan, see my Turkish
Almanac and Islamic
Religious Holidays in the When
to Go section.
Practice defensive
driving, particularly during
Ramazan.
The Seker
Bayrami holiday following
Ramadan brings a dramatic increase
in intercity traffic and the highest
accident rates of the year.
