The RAC Foundation has issued a warning to motorists that their choice of food and drink could greatly impact upon their skills behind the wheel, with unhealthy products leading to stress and fatigue.

The body has said that those avoiding coffee as part of a new year's resolution could find that they feel tired, while people cutting out carbohydrates could find themselves stressed out.
