Washington Car Accidents & Fatigue: Driving Tired Can Be Deadly
This week a Tacoma couple was killed and three others suffered injuries when a man fell asleep behind the wheel while returning from a camping trip in Eastern Washington. Car accidents involving fatigue are tragic – and preventable. Below we’ve presented some tips on how to avoid fatigued driving and what to do if you become tired while behind the wheel.How to prevent driving when fatigued:
• Never plan to drive more than eight hours per day.
• Take a break from behind the wheel either every two hours or every 100 miles.
• Don’t plan to drive between the hours of 2 AM and 6 AM.
• Have a passenger with you to watch your state and keep you alert.
• Be sure to get at least six or seven hours of sleep the night before a big trip.
• Don’t start a long trip after a long day at work – or a long day or activities.
• Try not to rely heavily on cruise control – keep your mind and body involved in driving your car.
What to do if you become fatigued while on the road:
• Stop at a rest stop and take a 10 to 20 minute nap. Even better, stop for the night at a hotel or motel and continue your trip in the morning.
• Drink at least two cups of coffee.
• Know that driving with the windows open or with loud music is not and effective way to stay awake.
• Be aware of your eyes – if signs start to get blurry or if you have trouble focusing, it’s time to take a break.
• Be aware of highway hypnosis – if you find yourself “zoning out” or not able to remember the last few minutes of driving, pull over.
• DO NOT continue driving.
