Are you a drowsy driver? | Toledo, Ohio car accident injury lawyers

Our Toledo, Ohio car accident lawyers want to make drivers aware of the dangers of drowsy driving. Driver fatigue is a hazardous condition that arises when a person suffers from symptoms of fatigue while driving. Delayed driver reaction time makes fatigue-related crashes more severe than others. When planning long trips, practice fatigue prevention measures that include:

·        Give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and schedule regular breaks.

·        Don't work a full day and then drive for hours knowing you are tired.

·        Don't drink alcohol the night before driving as this may impair your judgment.

·        Take a break every two hours.

·        Share driving responsibilities with another on long trips.

·        Avoid driving during normal sleep times.

·        Recognize sleepiness when it develops.
