Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year in Michigan, motor vehicle crashes continue to affect thousands of lives. With nearly 300,000 crashes reported annually across the state, early morning hours can be especially risky. Fatigue, low visibility, and early traffic flow all contribute to the dangers of commuting during these times.

Let’s explore the impact of drowsy or fatigued driving—an often overlooked risk factor:

• Slowed Reaction Times: Tired drivers have slower reflexes and may take longer to brake, steer, or respond to road hazards. This delay can turn a minor situation into a serious crash.
• Microsleeps Behind the Wheel: Even just a few seconds of nodding off can lead to a complete loss of control. Microsleeps often happen without the driver even realizing it and are incredibly dangerous at higher speeds.
• Impaired Decision-Making: Fatigue affects judgment. Tired drivers may follow too closely, speed, or take unnecessary risks. These behaviors increase the chances of causing or being involved in a collision.
• Early Morning Commuting Stress: Stress from rushing to work or adjusting to early schedules can add to the fatigue. Many drivers push through tiredness to meet deadlines, putting themselves and others at risk.
• Lack of Sunlight and Low Visibility: The absence of daylight during early morning hours can make it harder to see pedestrians, vehicles, or obstacles on the road. Combined with fatigue, this creates a hazardous driving environment.
