🚨 TELLICO PLAINS POLICE DEPARTMENT – SAFETY REMINDER 🚨

Most people know that driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is dangerous and illegal — but many people don’t realize that driving while extremely tired can be just as dangerous.

Drowsy driving is a form of impaired driving. When you are overly tired, your reaction time slows, your awareness decreases, and your ability to make safe decisions behind the wheel is affected. In many cases, the effects of fatigue can mimic the impairment caused by alcohol.

According to national safety data, drivers who are sleep-deprived may:
• Drift between lanes
• Miss traffic signals or signs
• Have delayed reaction times
• Experience “microsleeps” — brief moments where you fall asleep without realizing it

These few seconds can be the difference between arriving safely and causing a serious crash.

🚔 If you are tired, don’t drive.
• Get proper rest before traveling
• Take breaks on long trips
• Switch drivers when possible
• Pull over to a safe place if you feel yourself getting sleepy

The Tellico Plains Police Department wants everyone to arrive safely to their destination. Please take care of yourself and others on the road by never driving while impaired — including when you’re too tired to drive safely.
Stay safe, Tellico Plains.
