In a sleep-deprived society where the average American gets less than 7 hours of rest each night, the consequences can be dire. Astonishingly, despite the universal understanding that driving while drowsy is a recipe for disaster, a staggering 40% of drivers openly confess to embarking on their journeys in a fatigued state. Brace yourself for an even more alarming statistic: a shocking 20% of motorists, in the past year alone, have admitted to falling asleep behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep-deprived drivers can quickly doze off for a few seconds without realizing it. While this might seem harmless, at 65 miles per hour, you could drive the length of an entire football field in that time. Additionally, being awake for over 20 hours is equivalent to having a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent. In a recent year alone, drowsy drivers were responsible for at least 684 known fatalities. Sadly, most devastating accidents could have easily been prevented with proper due diligence and reasonable care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crucial Tips To Avoid Drowsy Driving<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.calljed.com\/blog\/how-to-avoid-drowsy-driving-car-accidents\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading How To Avoid Drowsy Driving Car Accidents\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the hidden epidemic sweeping our nation&#8217;s roads, threatening the lives of countless innocent individuals: drowsy driving.
