"Stay Alert, Arrive Alive"
- Vehicles in which the driver was accompanied by a passenger were nearly 50 percent less likely to be involved in a drowsy driving related crash.
- More than half (55%) of those drivers who reported having fallen asleep while driving in the past year said that it occurred on a high-speed divided highway.
- More than half (59%) of those drivers who reported having fallen asleep while driving in the past year said they had been driving for less than an hour before falling asleep;
- Only one in five reported they had been driving for three hours or longer.
- More than one in four drivers (26%) who reported having fallen asleep while driving in the past year reported that it had occurred between noon and 5 p.m.
Men (52%) were much more likely than women (30%) to report having ever fallen asleep while driving; men (14%) were also more likely than women (8%) to admit having done so in the past year.

I think that sleeping and driving is very dangerous. There are so many people out there who fall asleep and drive, and it is a very important topic. I like your blog you have alot of good information and very good pictures.
ReplyDeleteI was in an accident where the driver fell asleep, luckily no one got seriously injured. I think that this is very dangerous and people should ask them self if they are too tired to drive before they get behind the wheel.
ReplyDeleteThis happened to me when I was in sixth grade. The driver was asleep. I agree with Amanda that sleeping and driving is very dangerous.
