Getting behind the wheel when you’re tired is just as dangerous as driving drunk. In fact, over 11% of all fatal car accidents happen as a result of sleepy motorists–so it’s important to pay attention to the red flags before you start your drive. Here are the surefire signs you need to hand the keys to someone else:
-Yawning
-Hitting a rumble strip
-Not being able to recall the past couple of miles
-Blinking more than usual
-Trouble keeping eyes open or focusing them on the road in front of you
If you are displaying any one of these behaviors for a duration of time, especially if you are experiencing more than one at a time, you shouldn't be driving. Ask yourself if the trip is worth putting your life or the lives of others at risk. And then hand the keys over.
