Did you know that driving drowsy is like driving drunk with an alcohol level of 0.1? Yet so many Americans won’t deprive themselves off driving drowsy. A dashboard camera caught a drowsy police officer driving. She was weaving across the road and barely missed bicycle riders and then hit some parked cars. She got out and inspected the damage before getting back on the road, and then an officer finally pulled her over.
I never knew driving drowsy was this bad. I do it all the time but never that bad. I also for some reason get really sleepy in cars, so when I’m driving for a long time I do start nodding off.

0.1 seems like nothing tho!  I've seen some poeple at parties completely wasted and they're like Oh I'm driving!

Those people are risking their lives and other peoples lives also though. I think drunk driving is so bad and no one should do it. I also agree that driving drowsy is bad though because I have driven drowsy and hit a curb. I didn't sleep for 2 days and I was driving home to finally get some sleep but ended up dozing off at the wheel.
