Drowsy Drivers in California

You may be surprised by the truth about drowsy driving: the Center for Disease Control surveyed drivers and discovered that 4% had fallen asleep while driving. This startling fact is especially dangerous in California. Many people commute long hours to work in the early morning and late evening hours. Those who drive for long hours on California’s vast freeway and highway system are vulnerable to drowsiness as the miles add up. No matter the time of day or distance driven, however, all drivers are responsible for paying attention to their own level of alertness and getting off the road if drowsiness overtakes them.
