Driving is a risky business. One should not grow too comfortable in driving such that he could fall asleep while driving. This happens mostly to experienced drivers, for they have already grown accustomed to driving such that they no longer have to think of what to do while driving. Their minds usually wander freely or worse, fall into a slumber even while on the road. Some drivers fall asleep while driving because of extreme exhaustion or tiredness which makes it harder for them to concentrate on the road. This is dangerous!

According to pre-owned cars Houston company, it has been observed that driving while very tired is behind the majority of car crashes, and that these accidents usually occur during the wee hours of the morning or very late at night. It is clear, therefore, that a driver should avoid driving when he knows that he is very tired or that he was unable to get enough sleep. Where, however, the feeling of sleepiness is felt while on the road already, the steps which will be discussed below may be taken.

One can opt to drink an energy drink, which can remove the feeling of sleepiness, at least temporarily. At the very least, the energy drink can provide the driver with enough power to arrive at his destination or to arrive at a safe place where he can sleep. This brings us to the next advice. Where a driver feels really tired, it would not hurt for him to get off the road and rest for a while. He may either take a catnap or a full sleep before getting back on the road, depending on his capacity to recover. Some drivers will find that they can be revived even after a few minutes of sleep while others will need to sleep for hours before recovering their strength. The driver will thus have to gauge his capacity to recover based on his knowledge of himself. It must be remembered, however, that he must first find a safe parking place or an inn where he can stay to rest. 

Steps can also be taken to avoid falling into a situation of driving while in a state of fatigue. One can plan his journeys in such a way that he places carefully calculated breaks in between to allow for rest. Moreover, one should get proper rest and enough sleep before going on a long journey to avoid sleepiness on the road. Finally, if driving cannot be avoided when one is too tired, he can opt to have someone else drive, even for mere portions of the journey.
