In light of #DrowsyDrivingPreventionWeek, it's vital to understand on the dangers of driving when fatigued. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drowsy-driving incidents resulted in 684 deaths in 2021, indicating a widespread issue that goes beyond individual drivers to affect communities at large.
The National Sleep Foundation has been stressing the importance of sleep for driving safety. A lack of sleep significantly hampers a person's ability to drive safely. This is in resonance with the message shared by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on their Facebook page during #DrowsyDrivingPreventionWeek, encouraging safe and responsible driving through sufficient rest.
