Traffic Safety
As the holiday season approaches, many people’s schedules will be filled with extra events that might change their normal sleep schedule. This change, along with other factors, could result in driving while tired or drowsy. A key finding in a study lead by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that 1 in 6 fatal crashes involved a tired or drowsy driver. When someone gets behind the wheel without enough sleep, they can become confused, use poor judgment, and put themself at greater risk of getting into an accident. A drowsy driver scans the road less, nods off at the wheel, and has slower reaction times.
