How dangerous is drowsy driving?

Drowsy driving can have serious consequences, so car manufacturers are constantly working to find warning solutions.

Long working hours, stressful lifestyles and lack of sleep are putting the lives of thousands of people in the Asia-Pacific region at risk.

Many drivers are completely exhausted but still try to drive their vehicles on the road, which has caused alarming consequences.

Research shows that sleep deprivation among people in Asian countries is the most severe in the world. In Seoul, the average person sleeps only six hours a day. In China, sleep-deprived driving is responsible for more than 187,000 accidents each year. 29% of Australian drivers admit to driving drowsy at least once a month, and 20% of them have even fallen asleep at the wheel.

Like driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while sleep deprived can cause loss of concentration, reduced vehicle control and reaction speed.

On highways and expressways, traffic signs are used to warn of dangerous situations that may occur while driving. However, cars are also equipped with smart technologies to help drivers stay in their lanes./.
