Driving Drowsy Can Be Deadly | Cash for Cars Atlanta


When we think of unsafe drivers, we normally think of drunk drivers, teenagers or distracted drivers. Many of us forget that drowsy drivers are some of the deadliest and most unsafe drivers of them all. Sleepy drivers are extremely dangerous.  Driving sleepy is one of the leading causes of car crashes.  It so easy to simply drift off behind the wheel and it just takes a split second for that to lead to a tragic car accident.  When you are driving drowsy you can expect:


  • A delayed response time
  • Decreased awareness of your surroundings
  • Dropping into mini-sleep phases
  • Poor judgment
  • Confusion with turns and directions


If you know you have to drive, especially for long distances, it is imperative that you get enough sleep before driving. Here are some things to avoid before hitting the road and during your drive:


  • Drinking alcoholic beverages
  • Taking medications
  • Driving alone
  • Large, heavy meals
  • Keeping your car too warm
  • Listening to slow, relaxing music 


Stay safe on the road.  Never feel like it can’t or won’t happen to you. Even if you have to arrive a little late to your destination, it is always better to put safety first. If you feel too tired to drive, pull over at a safe place and get a little shut eye. Anytime you drive always make the safety of yourself and others your top priority.
