The Texas Department of Insurance quotes NHTSA statistics showing that more than 100,000 car crashes each year are linked to driving fatigue and drowsy drivers. It can be hard to prevent driving fatigue accidents when you are the innocent victim, but you can make sure that you don’t succumb to fatigue by following these tips from DrowsyDriving.org:
- Take breaks every two hours
- Get a good night’s sleep before driving long distances
- Take a quick nap if you get sleepy
- Drink two cups of coffee if you get tired
If you’ve already been injured in a driving fatigue accident, you may wish that more drivers would take these precautions. As you know, an auto accident can ruin and completely change your life. If your car crash took place in Boston or Andover you should contact an attorney to learn about your rights and determine liability.
