Two out of every five drivers have fallen asleep at the wheel! Those frightening statistics are revealed in a new study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. It’s estimated that about one in six fatal crashes were actually caused by drowsy driving.
Peter Kissinger - president and CEO of the AAA Foundation - says that a lot of people overestimate their ability to handle driver fatigue. One of the biggest mistakes we make is starting off on long drives AFTER a full day. Coffee and other tricks are no substitute for quality sleep before a big road trip.
