Bill > HRes845

This resolution supports designating the week of November 2-8, 2025, as "Drowsy Driving Prevention Week" by highlighting the serious risks associated with driving while fatigued. The resolution cites data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Safety Council, which indicate that drowsy driving impairs attention, reaction times, and decision-making similar to alcohol-impaired driving. Specifically, the resolution notes that being awake for 18 hours can impair driving equivalent to a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.05%, and being awake for 24 hours is comparable to a BAC of 0.1%, which exceeds legal driving limits. The resolution references National Sleep Foundation findings that 60% of adult drivers have driven while drowsy, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that drowsy driving causes approximately 100,000 police-reported crashes annually, resulting in over 1,550 deaths and 71,000 injuries. The House of Representatives supports this designation to raise awareness about the dangers of drowsy driving and encourages people across the United States to take preventative steps to avoid driving while sleep-deprived.
