Summary: Studies show that driving sleep deprived is about as dangerous as drunk driving. 60% of drivers have admitted to driving while sleepy. However, only NJ has prohibited drowsy driving, after a college student was killed by a driver who had not slept for 30 hours. Being at least 20 hours sleep deprived and driving is as bad as having a alcohol blood level at 0.08 and driving. 100,000 crashes a year are from drowsy driving. We need to take this seriously.
Critique: Wow, I didn't know it was that big of a problem. everyone should blast their music:)
Impact: Well, people need more sleep. So that's what they should do. :)
