The State Traffic Inspectorate states that at night the driver is faced with two tasks at once: driving and overcoming the natural tendency to sleep. Some people believe that they will never fall asleep while driving and will always be able to overcome drowsiness. Statistics show the opposite. Sleeping while driving is especially dangerous if it occurs unexpectedly and lasts a few seconds. Often the driver does not even realize that his car has been uncontrollable for some time. You should avoid driving when you are very tired. If you feel like you are falling asleep behind the wheel, stop at the nearest rest area and allow your body to recover. Life is more valuable than time spent sleeping!
