It’s vital that motorists are awake and alert when out on the roads. Driving while tired leads to slow reaction times and reduced attention, making it difficult to keep control of the vehicle. In fact, according to Brake, the road safety charity, driver fatigue could be as dangerous as drink-driving.
However, many drivers admit to getting behind the wheel after having very little sleep. A new study by Leeds-based used car dealers, Big Motoring World found that the majority (55%) of drivers have driven after under five hours of sleep.
