Common Causes of Car Accidents #5: Drowsy driving.

Common Causes of Car Accidents #5: Drowsy driving.

Driving while tired can be just as dangerous as drunk or impaired driving. In fact, drowsy driving is impaired driving.

Being overtired behind the wheel can cause repeated yawning, swerving or tailgating, slow reaction times, blurred or reduced vision, poor judgement, and difficulty concentrating. There’s even a risk of falling asleep behind the wheel or crossing into the wrong lane.

Protect yourself and others by:

  • Getting plenty of sleep
  • Stopping routinely for stretch breaks
  • Pulling into a rest stop or off the road if you catch yourself drifting
  • Stopping at a hotel, motel, or friend’s to sleep
  • Avoid drowsy medications
