CHP Launches Drowsy Driving Program

The Cal­i­for­nia High­way Patrol is launch­ing a cam­paign this week to raise aware­ness about the dan­gers of dri­ving while drowsy. The CHP is remind­ing dri­vers that get­ting behind the wheel while sleepy can be deadly. In 2010, there were 32 deaths and more than two-thousand injuries caused by tired motorists. The CHP and the National Sleep Foun­da­tion says dri­vers should get seven to nine hours of sleep before driving.
