Drowsy Drivers on California’s Freeways

California’s extensive freeway and highway system are conducive to long road trips that span many miles, from mountains to desert to ocean. However, a responsibility comes with driving for hours on straight roads with higher speed limits. Drivers must be sure to stay alert; in fact, the Center for Disease Control conducted a survey of drivers and found that 4% had fallen asleep while driving.
