Explanation
If you drive while drowsy, you may become slower to respond to road and traffic conditions. Fatigue can slow your thought processes and reaction time. Be prepared to stop driving if you are unable to stay alert. On long trips, take a break every 100 miles or 2 hours. If you think you might fall asleep, pull over to a safe area as soon as you can and take a short nap.
