Don’t be a Drowsy Driver

Drowsy Deaths in Tennessee in 2023

Law enforcement in Tennessee is reminding drivers about the dangers of drowsy driving. The issue is more dangerous than many people realize. In 2023, 633 people lost their lives in crashes involving a drowsy driver.

Fatigue slows reaction time, affects judgment, and can be just as dangerous as driving impaired.

If you’re tired, don’t risk it. Pull over, take a break, or switch drivers. A few minutes of rest could save a life.

Stay alert. Stay safe.
