Broome County Sheriff's Office - Drowsy Driving Prevention Week

Drowsy Driving Prevention Week

According to the CDC, people who have been awake for at least 18 hours may behave as someone impaired by alcohol.  Here are some tips to avoid drowsy driving:

Getting enough sleep before driving. 

Driving with a passenger and switching drivers before you start to feel drowsy. 

Taking regular rest stops even if not tired.

Avoid alcohol or medications that can cause drowsiness. 

Stay alert and drive without distraction not only to protect yourself, but to protect your passengers and other motorists.
