The importance of sleep cannot be underestimated, and neither can the negative effects that too little sleep can have on a person’s ability to drive. Driver fatigue is especially problematic in the trucking industry, in which many truck drivers work exhausting and highly-demanding schedules with insufficient rest-time, though efforts are being made to address this problem.
Our sleep is vital regardless of our jobs, and driving with too little sleep can impair judgment, reduce reaction-times, and even affect depth-perception, all of which are crucial to our ability to drive safely. In worst-case scenarios, a fatigued driver can even fall asleep at the wheel and lose control altogether, resulting in striking something in the road or veering off and striking a building or innocent person or bicyclist. We, as drivers, owe a legal duty of care to all other drivers and pedestrians on the road, which means we must not drive if we are too physically tired to do so. Fatigued driving puts everyone on the road at risk, and fatigued drivers must be held accountable for their negligence when an accident occurs.
