Annually following daylight savings time, the National Sleep Foundation declares the first week of November to be Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. In an effort to reduce the number of fatigue-related crashes and to save lives, this campaign provides public education about the under-reported risks of driving while drowsy and preventative steps to improve safety on the road. 

Did you know:

• Driving drowsy is like driving with .05% blood alcohol content?
• 1 out of 10 drivers have fallen asleep at the wheel in this past year
• 1 out of 8 crashes that require hospitalization is due to drowsy driving
• 1 out of 6 deadly traffic accidents is a direct result of drowsy driving

Adults need on average between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night, but unfortunately with all of the distractions and stresses of daily life - not everyone gets that much. To ensure you stay alert on the road, plan to drive long trips with a friend or companion, schedule regular stops, avoid alcohol or medications, and even pull over to take a short nap if you feel fatigued (15-20 min). 

Whether you are a business traveler frequently working long hours, commuting on the road to and from airports during high traffic times, or are the driver selected to chauffeur your friends to and from a concert during late night hours after an exhausting week - consider giving us a call. At Dynasty Limousine, we want to make sure you arrive to and from your destination safely. We'll handle your transportation to ensure none of your fatigue will compromise your safety on the road.
