As a Southern California driver, you are faced with dangers whenever you get behind the wheel. The risks are increased greatly when you or the driver next to you is operating a vehicle while tired.

Many experts consider a fatigued driver just as dangerous as a driver who is impaired by drugs or alcohol. Drowsiness can result in slower reactions times affecting a drivers ability to react properly to dangers on the roads.

Research suggests that a person who has been awake for 24 hours performs at the same level as a driver who has been tested with a 0.10 blood-alcohol content. This would qualify that person as a drunk driver in California.

A Southern California car accident can take place in mere seconds. A tired driver may take a second too long to react to a road defect or a person crossing the road. The results can be devastating.

An accident with a tired driver can leave you or a loved one with a debilitating injury and can have lasting effects on your life.
