Explanation

Driving when sleepy is dangerous because it seriously affects the driver's ability to react. The General Traffic Regulations point out the role of drowsiness in road accidents, stressing that lack of attention and delayed responses can cause serious accidents. The rules stress the importance of being in optimal condition to drive, because problems such as fatigue and drowsiness can lead to dangerous driving behaviour.
