Drowsy Driving
When a person is fatigued, it is an extremely bad idea to get behind the wheel of a car. It is not an exaggeration to compare drowsy driving with drunk driving. A sleepy driver cannot be tested like a drunk driver can, but there is no doubt that exhaustion takes a serious toll on a driver’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.
Drowsy drivers can get into serious accidents that can have long-term effects on innocent motorists. If you or someone you know has been involved in an accident with a tired driver, you may be eligible for compensation for your pain, suffering, and other damages.

Impairments From Being Drowsy
Much like a drunk or drugged driver, someone that gets behind the wheel while tired can suffer deficiencies in:
- Reaction time
- Focus
- Hand-eye coordination
- Ability to judge distance of objects
One of the most frightening aspects of drowsy driving is how suddenly it can occur. Unlike intoxicated driving, a driver may not have any real indication how tired he or she is when getting behind the wheel. In addition, if a person falls asleep while driving, that driver has literally begun an object in motion that he or she has no power to control.
