Question 6587
Can traffic accidents in which drowsiness is the main risk factor happen during daytime hours?
- No, they only happen during nighttime hours.
- Yes, especially between two and four in the afternoon.
- Yes, although it is a type of accident that only professional drivers have.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, especially between two and four in the afternoon.
Yes. Many accidents caused by drowsiness happen during the day. After lunch, between 2 and 4 in the afternoon, your body clock lowers your alertness, making it easy to feel sleepy. This happens to any driver, although professional drivers, who drive more during those hours, are greatly affected.
