Being tired is not foreign to me. I know how it's like to sleep only 6 hours per night, and I know how I function with less than 8 (hint: terribly). Sadly, these incidents prohibit me from driving.
Everyone knows that you should never drive while tired. However, many ignore that and suffer the consequences. I suffer from the opposite: I don't drive, and I miss some things I would like to do because of that.
What's better? Drive while a little tired or avoid driving unless you feel fantastic, but miss out some things in your life? Tell me in your comments.
Don't dream and drive!

Another Tired Driving
Driving tired is one of the biggest risks being taken by drivers, along with drunk driving. When you are tired your vision is blurry, you don't think clearly, and, well, you react just like if you're drunk. The only difference is that you can't be charged with DUI when driving tired.
Last week, on New Year's eve, I made this mistake again. I'm not perfect, I know, but sometimes I make really stupid decisions. Nothing happened, and I wasn't even close to something, but this is one of the most dangerous nights of the year, and I should've been more careful.
However, I didn't drink. This is a really big red line for me. Alcohol and the driver's seat don't go together when I drive. Not even a sip. If I was drinking on December 31, I would've probably ended crashed into a wall.
Drive safely!

Driving Tired: A Big No-No
This week I made the #1 mistake of driving. I admit it. I risked my life. I risked the lives of others. I should have done things differently. I drove while I was tired.
The way I got myself into this situation is not important (and does not include alcohol), but the result is that what I did is a big no-no. You should never drive tired. It's too dangerous. I felt that my driving skills were not in their best, and I was driving slower than usual to avoid any fast sudden moves.
This drive happened when I was going back home. On the way, I saw a terrible accident. I don't know why it happened, but I am really lucky not to be in this situation.
DON'T EVER DRIVE TIRED!
