Don't Drive When Drowsy
"People must remember that drowsy driving is an impairment that compares to drunk driving." That statement by an official of the U.S. National sleep Foundation shows the danger of driving when you are sleepy. The following symptoms indicate that it is not safe for you to drive:
- Difficulty gocusing, grequent blinking or heavy eyelids.
- Touble keeping your head up.
- Yawning repeatedly.
- Trouble remembering the last few miles driven.
- Missing exits or traffic signs.
- Drifting from your lane, tailgating, or hirring shoulder rumble strips.
If you experience these symptoms, switch drivers or pull off to a safe area to take a nap. Your safety, and that of others, is worth the delay!
