How dangerous is drowsy driving?

If you’re like most people, you don’t get the eight hours that are needed and that can be dangerous when you’re driving.
I wanted to find out just what kind of impact this has on reaction time behind the wheel, so I set up a two day driving test with Knoxville Police Department at their training facility in East Knoxville.
On day one, I was well rested, but after going without sleep for over twenty-four hours, day two was a different story.
Day 1
I met Officer Michele Goldsberry, a top notch defensive driving instructor with KPD.
We used three news cameras and 3 go-pro cameras to make sure we got every angle possible.

My first question to Goldsberry? “How fast can I go? ” I was told, “as fast as you feel comfortable.”
