Anything that can be considered a distraction such as talking on the phone, texting, eating, or driving while fatigued is extremely dangerous and potentially lethal when behind the wheel. As a Seattle distracted driving attorney, I am against the idea of “multitasking” while driving. Focusing on the road should be first and top priority while driving. The local news of King 5 News reported that The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) announced that it is Drowsy Driving Prevention Week! The NSF is dedicated to the mission of educating the public about the dangers of drowsy driving and hopefully reducing the number of car accidents as a direct result. It is the foundations belief that people are aware of how unjustifiable driving drunk is but it is less widely known that driving while drowsy is just as dangerous. The NSF reports many people are driving the streets while drowsy and provides tips and pointers for keeping yourself and others on the road safe.

The NSF reports some warning signs of becoming too drowsy to continue such as difficulty focusing, drifting in and out of your lane, yawning repeatedly, and the inattention to the last few miles you just drove. If you find yourself becoming drowsy while driving it is perfectly acceptable to pull over and collect yourself by resting before continuing on your way. Drowsy driving can cause accidents and yet it can be prevented by making sure to get enough sleep and taking breaks during long road trips.
