The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration conservatively estimates that 100,000 police-reported crashes
are the direct result of driver fatigue each year. This results in an estimated
1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and $12.5 billion in monetary losses.
Stay safe by knowing and
understanding the symptoms before you or your driver falls asleep!
Warning
signs for drowsy drivers:
- Eyes closing or not focusing by themselves
- Difficulty in keeping your head up
- Yawning constantly
- Not remembering driving the last few minutes
- Drifting between lanes, tailgating, or missing traffic signs
- Jerking the car back into the lane after drifting
