On Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year according to some, mobility can be a challenge. Many people feel gloomy and have less energy, which can lead to reduced motivation to get around. Depression and gloom can lead to reduced concentration, slower reactions and reduced attention, which can lead to an increased risk of traffic accidents.

It is therefore important to be extra alert on the road if you feel gloomy or down. It can help to plan your trip so you have time to warm up and concentrate before you start driving. Listen to relaxing music or take a short walk before driving to clear your mind and help you stay clear. Driving is therapeutic and we could use that on Blue Monday.

A relaxed drive through an area with little traffic works wonders if you want to relax, but even traffic jams after a busy working day can do wonders for processing your day. If you can believe the weather woman, we are facing a somewhat drier period and the heavy rain period is behind us. An attractive way to start your day is the forecast of the traffic information service, which expects a normal rush hour for Blue Monday with the most traffic jams in Brabant and the Rotterdam-The Hague region. A little rain or melting snow can't spoil the day.
