🚗💤 Drowsy Driving Prevention Week® | November 2–8, 2025

Getting enough rest before you get behind the wheel can save lives — yours, your family’s, and others on the road.

Here in rural Nebraska, long stretches of highway and late-night drives make staying alert more important than ever. Fatigue slows reaction times, affects judgment, and can be just as dangerous as impaired driving.

Before your next trip, remember:
✅ Get a full night’s rest.
✅ Plan breaks during long drives.
✅ Pull over and rest if you start feeling drowsy.

Let’s keep our roads safe — Sleep First. Drive Alert.

🌙🚘 Late Nights. Long Roads. Stay Awake, Loup Basin. 🚘🌙

Across rural Nebraska, long drives and quiet highways are part of everyday life — but they can also increase the risk of drowsy driving.

Fatigue slows your reaction time, affects your judgment, and can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence. Whether you’re heading home after a long workday, a late visit, or an early morning start, make rest part of your travel plan.

Watch for these warning signs:
😴 Frequent yawning or heavy eyelids
🚗 Drifting out of your lane or hitting rumble strips
📱 Missing road signs or turns
⏰ Forgetting the last few miles you’ve driven

If you notice any of these, pull over safely and rest. Even a short nap can make a big difference.
