Ramadan Tips for Addison Lee Drivers: Staying Safe and Focused on the Road
Ramadan is the holy month observed by Muslims around the world, marked by fasting from dawn until sunset. During daylight hours, those observing Ramadan refrain from food and drink, using the month as a time for reflection, self-discipline, kindness, and community.
At Addison Lee, we recognise the diversity of the people who keep our city moving every day. Many of our drivers and team members observe Ramadan while continuing to provide safe, reliable journeys for our customers.
It’s also a time that reminds us of the importance of patience, care and consideration on the road. Supporting driver wellbeing, encouraging safe driving and showing understanding for one another are values that align closely with who we are as a business.
To support you and help keep you safe during Ramadan, we’ve put together some essential tips to stay focused, healthy, and observe the holy month on the road.
Tips:
- Plan Your Energy Wisely
-
- Eat a balanced suhoor with slow-release carbs, protein, and water.
