        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 Mudik preparations are usually more focused on the\nvehicle\u2019s condition and the driver\u2019s readiness. However, there is\nanother aspect often overlooked: the physical condition of the\npassengers. Long journeys require good stamina from everyone in the car\nto keep the trip safe and comfortable. \u2018Passengers also need to get\nenough rest before the trip. If they are exhausted, the atmosphere\ninside the car can become unfavourable and affect the driver\u2019s\nconcentration,\u2019 he told Kompas.com on Wednesday (4 March 2026). Sony\nexplained that fatigued passengers tend to be more irritable, less\npatient, or even disrupt the driver\u2019s focus. This can force the driver\nto divide attention between road conditions and the cabin environment.\nMoreover, passengers who are fresh and rested can also help the driver\nduring the journey. For example, by engaging in conversation, helping\nmonitor road conditions, and reminding when it is time to rest. He also\nemphasised the importance of planning the travel schedule carefully,\nincluding deciding when and where to rest. Do not delay rest when the\nbody starts showing signs of fatigue or drowsiness. According to Sony,\nforcing a journey while fatigued can reduce the brain\u2019s decision-making\nability, thereby increasing the risk of road accidents. Therefore, in\naddition to thorough vehicle preparation, travellers should also ensure\nthat all passengers are fit to travel to make the mudik journey safer\nand more comfortable.<\/p>",
