A 2023 report ranked Texas as being the second-worst in the country for crashes involving drowsy drivers. Unfortunately, many of these crashes cause fatal injuries.
That said, drowsy driving goes way beyond Texas state borders. The National Sleep Foundation reported that in a poll they ran as many as 27 percent of commuting workers admitted to driving drowsy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that out of the nearly 150,000 adults surveyed, 4.2 percent admitted to nodding off while driving in the 30 days prior to the survey.
