Florida Announces Drowsy Driving Prevention Week

"Florida Governor Charlie Crist signed House Bill 971 into law. The bill designates the first week of September as "Drowsy Driving Prevention Week." During the week, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and the Department of Transportation are encouraged to educate the law enforcement community and the public about the relationship between fatigue and performance. These efforts will emphasize the research showing that fatigue is as dangerous as alcohol while operating a motor vehicle."  -- from the AASM

This is a wonderful idea. Unless you've actualy fallen sleep driving, and in my case had luckily one car accident, you might not realize how dangerous it is. We tend to think rolling the window down or loud music will keep us awake, but it won't work for long if at all. I applaud Florida's efforts to put the spotlight on driving drowsy.
They need a promotional slogan. I suggest, "90% of drowsy driving is caused by untreated sleep apnea. Get off your sorry butt and get screened."
