It’s difficult to distinguish a drunk driver from a drowsy driver. Nearly nine out of ten police officers responding to an AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety Internet survey reported they had stopped a driver they believed was drunk but who turned out to be drowsy.
The telltale signs of impairment include:
- 1.
Drifting out of lane
- 2.
Fluctuating speed
- 3.
Following another car too closely
- 4.
Head bobbing
If you spot a driver in another car displaying these signs, keep your distance and call the police or highway patrol to report him or her. Your action could save lives.
