Shocking Poll Reveals 1 in 7 Americans Fall Asleep While Driving

One in seven Americans admit to falling asleep at the wheel. Are your tired-driving habits putting you at risk?

They say “look out for the other guy” when you’re driving . . . because he might be napping.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.  And a poll for it found one in seven Americans have fallen asleep at the wheel before.  14% admitted it’s happened at least once.

Here are the top four things we do to stay awake . . .

1.  Drink something with caffeine.  63% do it when feeling tired behind the wheel.

2.  Crank the RADIO, 62%.  The sound of our grating voices will keep you alive.

3.  Roll down a window or blast the A/C, 58%.

4.  Talk to someone on the phone, 28%.

59% said they DO pull over to rest sometimes, which is what you SHOULD do.

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
