Caffeine Supplements and Safe Driving
In many gas stations, grocery stores, and convenience stores, you will find a variety of drinks or supplements at the counter advertising their ability to make you “awake” and “alert” throughout the day. But while these products may seem like a great way to counter the effects of driver fatigue and, many of them are not safe to use while driving long distances.
No beverage or supplement is an adequate substitute for a full night of sleep. Drivers who are fatigued and under the influence of these products can become a threat to other drivers on the road as well as themselves. Tired drivers can be more prone to making mistakes, while some caffeine supplements can cause distracting side effects.
