The
Drowsy Driving Program
Every year, falling asleep while driving is responsible for
at least 100,000 automobile crashes, 40,000 injuries, and 1550
fatalities. These crashes happen between the hours of midnight
and 6am, involve a single vehicle and a sober driver traveling
alone, with the car leaving the roadway without any attempt to
avoid the crash. These figures underestimate the true level of
involvement of drowsiness because they do not include crashes
involving daytime hours, multiple vehicles, alcohol, passengers,
or evasive maneuvers.
NHTSA's programs to combat drowsy driving employs both
educational and technological solutions. Education programs are
directed toward specific subpopulations as well as the general
driving public. Current educational efforts to combat drowsy
driving are directed at shift workers and college students,
using social marketing approaches to determine appropriate
messages and delivery mechanisms. Programs increase awareness of
the need for sleep and provide information on how to get better
quality sleep, how to recognize when a driver is fighting sleep,
and what to do when the driver is too sleepy to drive.
