[Long Island City, 1/8/2018] — Drivers are very much aware of the dangers of driving while distracted or drunk; after all, traffic safety officials regularly advise them against doing so. What these officials fail to remind drivers, however, are the risks of driving when sleepy. This risk excludes no one, even those who do not drink. Thus, Formula Motorsports remind drivers of all vehicle types need to be extra careful on the road.

Less Shut-Eye, Higher Crash Rates

According to a report released by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, drivers who sleep for around five or six hours daily double their risk of a crash or a collision with an oncoming vehicle. The report’s findings revealed that crash rates are inversely proportional to the amount of sleep a driver has.

Drivers in the study who slept for four to five hours only had four times higher crash risk than those who had more sleep. The rate spiked up dramatically for drivers who reported sleeping less than four hours, as they were 11.5 times more likely to crash or collide with another vehicle.

For this reason, Jake Nelson, AAA’s Director of Traffic Safety Advocacy & Research, dissuades people who have not slept for at least seven hours from driving any vehicle.

Porsche Collision Repair

People driving high-end vehicles, such as a Porsche, need to be aware of this risk, as a collision would be quite costly for them. Adequate sleep can help them reduce their risks of a road accident, as well as keep them alert, should another driver trigger a potential crash.
