One of the bigger problems on the road is drowsy driving, yet most people talk about drunk and distracted driving, and rightfully so. However, you shouldn\u2019t discount the potential dangers that arise because of drowsy driving.<\/p>\n<p>Fatigue can have a significant impact on a driver, and it puts you and others on the road in harm\u2019s way. Recognizing the problems is important, but as a driver, you should also recognize signs of drowsy driving to protect yourself on the road.<\/p>\n<h2>What Happens To A Fatigued Driver?<\/h2>\n<p>When a driver is fatigued, it\u2019s easy for them to have their decision-making and cognitive abilities significantly reduced. Unfortunately, this can lead to other serious problems, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The driver closes his or her eyes for periods of time<\/li>\n<li>The driver weaves from lane to lane until hitting the rumble strip<\/li>\n<li>The driver brakes and speeds up erratically<\/li>\n<li>The driver doesn\u2019t stop when approaching traffic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The effects of drowsy driving are similar to that of someone who has been drinking and driving. A reduction in reaction time can easily lead to some of the worst injuries. It\u2019s important to recognize these signs so you can stay as safe as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>What Can I Do To Stay Safe?<\/h2>\n<p>If you notice a driver on the road exhibiting any of the behaviors above, make sure you stay clear of them. It\u2019s often tempting to try and speed up and get past the driver, but this could be very dangerous. Stay back and report the driver as quickly as you can.<\/p>\n<p>At The Kalka Law Group &#8211; Personal Injury &amp; Car Accident Attorneys, we know of the many problems that arise when someone is fatigued while driving.
