You may think that these sound like normal responsibilities, though approximately 60% of adult drivers will drive when they are drowsy. 37% will even fall asleep, and this can lead to 100,000 police reported crashes every single year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The best way to avoid being one of these statistics is to stay safe behind the wheel. Be awake and alert at all times &ndash; and there are tips to help you do this.<\/p>\n<p>You should always get a full 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night, and this is recommended by the National Sleep Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>If you are driving down the highway and feel the urge to fall asleep, pull off at a rest area and take a 20 minute nap. If you have a long distance to go still, you may also want to consider checking into a motel or hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you are going long distances, try and split the driving responsibilities within another licensed driver. You should also plan on taking a break from being behind the wheel approximately every two hours or 100 miles.<\/p>\n<p>If you do feel tired and don&rsquo;t want to drive, don&rsquo;t push yourself and risk getting into an accident where injury or death to you or someone else could occur. Ask someone to drive you home, or even call a taxi company. It&rsquo;s better to spend the money on a taxi then to risk your life on the road.<\/p>\n<p>The roads of Cincinnati, Ohio can be dangerous enough as it is, and you need to make sure to stay safe when you are driving.<\/p>\n<p>Call us at Advantage Insurance Network to learn more about auto insurance.
