This week is Drowsy Driving Prevention Week, a campaign to educate the public regarding drowsy driving prevention on Florida’s roads.
Drowsy driving poses more of a threat than most realize - Fatigue slows thought processes and reaction time, affects judgement and vision, impairs the senses and abilities, and can cause micro-sleeping or falling completely asleep, making it very dangerous to drive.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles estimates that nearly 4000 reported crashes in Florida involved drowsy drivers last year.
Throughout the entire month of September, officials will be urging drivers to safely pull off the road and take a break if they are having difficulty focusing, yawning repeatedly, or drifting into other lanes.
