Driving Tired can have Disastrous Results
According to the National Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 100,000 accidents per year are caused by fatigued drivers. Most of these accidents happen between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. the next morning. The next dangerous time period for drowsy drivers is between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. Tired drivers will drift over road lines, vary their speeds and drive erratically.
Avoiding Being a Impaired Drowsy Driver
- Have plenty of rest prior to any long trips
- Take routine breaks when driving for a long period of time
- Have someone else drive part of the trip
- Avoiding driving after working, drinking or any strenuous activities
- Stop and rest if you feel tired
- Avoid taking any medicines that can make you drowsy
