In Utah, drowsy driving was the cause of 10 fatal crashes in 2021, which is up from the past 5 years.
Driving drowsy is comparable to driving intoxicated or impaired behind the wheel, and unfortunately, the Utah Highway Patrol said when pulling people over, drivers aren't quick to admit that they are drowsy. The study shows just that — that most of us don't really know how tired we are.estimated that up to 21% of all police-reported fatal crashes involved drowsy driving.
"The person is still impaired when they're fatigued; they're not recognizing what's going on around them, what's going on inside the vehicle, and performing the basic functions of driving that need to happen," said UHP Sgt. Cameron Roden. "And so, fatigue driving is a big problem and people need to be aware of it."
