England to Face Mexico at Estadio Azteca at 1am UK Time

England is scheduled to face Mexico at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City at 1am UK time on Monday morning, GB News reported. The match may be delayed or rescheduled if thunderstorms occur. The game is expected to finish at 3am, or 4am if it goes to extra time and penalties.

The UK Government confirmed pubs can open until 5am for the England match. Tens of millions of people across the country are set to watch the game. Rod Dennis, RAC road safety spokesperson, stated the organisation is concerned about a spike in avoidable collisions on Monday.

He advised drivers to be fully rested and hydrated if staying up to watch the match. Dennis stated drivers may not be fit to drive until much later in the day. He added that those who consumed alcohol should not drive until it is completely out of their system.

Dennis warned that an impending heatwave would amplify tiredness effects and slow recovery. He stated tiredness, dehydration and alcohol can be a lethal combination behind the wheel. Data from the AA shows a person awake for 24 hours may have impairment equivalent to a blood alcohol level of 0.1 per cent.

AA Accident Assist advises motorists to stop driving at the first sign of tiredness, park safely, and drink two cups of coffee or another caffeinated drink. Tim Rankin, managing director of AA Accident Assist, stated supporters staying up until 3am or 4am need to think carefully about getting through Monday morning safely.

He stated drowsy driving affects reactions, judgement and concentration similarly to drink driving.

Rankin stated no football match is worth risking your life or anyone else's by driving tired.
