Dangers of Drowsy Driving
The Utah Personal Injury Law Firm Blog posted an article about the dangers of drowsy driving. Kenneth L. Christensen, who posted this blog, says that "nearly 51% of drivers in America, roughly 100 million people, admitted to feeling drowsy while behind the wheel, according to a poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation. The same poll found that an astonishing 2 out of 10 of those drivers have actually fallen asleep while driving!"
While people are likely to not drive after having a few drinks, few take into consideration that driving when drowsy can be equally as dangerous. The post also says that men are twice as likely to fall asleep behind the wheel as opposed to women, and drivers ages 18-29 are the most likely to drive when "drowsy or fatigued."
Thanks to this article for reminding us that drinking and driving isn't the only dangerous activity that can be done behind the wheel!
