How dangerous are drowsy and distracted drivers on our Houston, TX roads?

 

A:

Houston injury attorney takes note that studies show that drowsy drivers perform about the same on driving and reaction time tests as drivers who are above the legal limit of 0.08% blood alcohol content. Other studies show that distracted drivers perform also about the same as drunken drivers on such tests.

Just a moment's distraction can cause a driver to veer off course. A resulting vehicle crash can occur in a second or two. Drivers who are drowsy or distracted don't have the focus to allow them to correct their course in time, even if they notice they've veered off course. If they try, they are more likely than other drivers to overcorrect and cause a rollover accident.

Our Houston, TX metro region already suffers the nation's largest number of drunken driving crashes. And news reports are showing an increase in the numbers of drowsy driving accidents and distracted driving accidents as well.
