About drunkenness and sleepiness

[Obulis]

Knowing the disadvantages of being sleepy or being drunk. To some extreme extent, drivers find themselves under this conditions. Both (highness or sleepiness) may seem controllable. Well some sleepiness are as a result of inadequate sleep. At times one may just take little highness knowing that they'll be on steering only for health breakdown to occur, just like suddenly feeling sleepy.
Not as if any of both conditions is good
But
Among this two conditions, which is more dangerous than the other when on steering?

Among this two conditions, which is more dangerous than the other when on steering?

Both of them are dangerous. I wouldn't choose one or the other but I'll choose them both. Being drunk while driving is against the law and no one should put other's life in jeopardy when driving in the public roads. While being sleepy, it's also the same. I've experienced few seconds of sleep while driving and I thought that I've died already when I've got like a premonition of what's about to happen, thank God that were safe and that's why I always remind my peers when I am driving that no one should yawn loudly when I am driving especially at night because it's contagious.

Between sleepiness and drunkenness causing more accidents, I'd say they both cause around one accident.

Among this two conditions, which is more dangerous than the other when on steering?

Both of these are dangerous for the drivers, commuters, and pedestrians. Many road accidents are the result of drivers' drunkenness and sleepiness. Officers have warned us that if we are going to drink, we should not drive and just let someone take us home.
We have a bad reflex when we are driving in the influence of liquor; we cannot calculate the distance and and we are out of focus.
And when we are sleepy on the road, we should stop on the side and take a nap. when we are sleepy while driving, we lose our control and consciousness; accident can happen if we lose our focus even for a few seconds, so both are dangerous and should be avoided when driving.

It's not possible to say which of them is the worst or more dangerous, because both affect the same cognitive and executive functions of your brain. You can't be attentive when sleepiness or drunk, and that capacity is essential when driving in order to avoid causing accidents.

For that reason, there are many government's campaigns and ads on the media enlightening and educating about the risks of driving under such conditions, and also regulations which punish drivers who fail accomplishing with them.

By considering one less dangerous than another, we risk underestimating the risks of one of them, what can be used as an excuse by people to drive under that condition, because it's not so bad like the another one.

The drunkenness and the sleeping when driving i cannot class then that which one is more dangerous, because to me both of them are risk that any body that find his self for that condition it will funny for the person and that’s why is importance for that are drinking even when their drive; since is dealing with the blood it may take their senses at any time.

The dangerous that most people’s are the one bringing it to their self is the drunk. Because they know that is some thing can make them it if their sense, but they will still continue to they use it and when something happen to them they will be blamed innocent people’s.

sleepiness isn’t really controllable especially if it reaches a certain point of exhaustion

Among this two conditions, which is more dangerous than the other when on steering?

isn’t almost the same? when you get drunk you get sleepy and this is why a lot of drivers tend to fall asleep behind the wheel because they are passing out from drinking but maybe i’ll choose drunkenness since it changes the way one thinks and acts

[Hispo]

I think this is rather a question which could be answered by checking some scientific studies on the matter and statistics from some countries like the United States and the European Union, which keep a record of their traffick accidents and the causes of such.
Now, if I had to guess, I would say drunkenness causes more accidents per-capita in western countries, where drinking alcohol is socially acceptable and getting drunk does not seem to be a great deal for the average person within western societies.
On the other hand, there are countries in which there are very demanding work schedules, making employees to stay up to late and wake up very early in the morning, that also could contribute to accidents, it comes to mind countries like Japan .

First I will say both are bad terms as long as you are on steering of a motion mobile because you will be at risk of loosing control.

But if I must say one is worse, then I will say it is being drunk because you will have to battle staying and to keep your mental reasons upright so that you can always make intentional decisions because when drunk, wherever you do will be awful that might lead you to regrets and even leads you to unrepairable situations.

 The dozing under the influence of alcohol/drunkenness can solemnly be uncontrollable because the contents of the alcohol is still inside of you which can stake your conciousness off away from you to the bottom of accident.

And guess what??? Even when the accident may occur, you as a drunken driver will still remain unconscious like nothing dangerous even happened. Why? Because you are not just of your right senses.

Sleep can be a cause of being stressed either mentally or physically if illicit substances were not it cause and when in the steering as a driver, you can easily realize yourself and understand the danger that  it may become when sleep off.
So, there is every tendencies that you will be extremely concious for danger and then put SAFETY first.

[Marykeller]

Before answering your question, we should look at the aftereffects of both conditions when driving. Does it lead to casualties or not? If both do, will you be able to choose one from the other knowing fully well that no one is better to choose than the other since both can lead to casualties(death). On that note, someone wouldn't like to do what will be stupid enough that lead to their untimely death when driving

If I'm not wrong we have talked about alcoholic and sleepless driver attitude before and almost all the problem people are going through is the cause of lack of money because I wonder what somebody with a lot of money will be doing without having a good sleep, there are things in ourselves we cannot tell what to do when the natural time has come for it to exercise why is there, sleeping you are saying is one major thing in our body that doesn't have to be fight against, though is not that you will allow yourself to fall asleep at a very giving time you are not supposed to be sleeping but the extent at which you intentionally want to keep yourself from sleeping for 24hrs will gathered all the time you have neglected and come with a force you will not longer control and this time weather you are driving, working or anywhere it suppress and hold you down. Perhaps if those company that employs them cannot do that common work the government should make it a state of mandatory.

It's not the same because you can somewhat fight one, but not the other. I'll give you a real life example:

You feel tired and sleepy and have to get home that night. Let's say you still need to drive for 2 hours to reach your destination but feel like you can't do it anymore because your eyes are closing by themselves.
-find the nearest gas station or drive through and get a coffee.
-stop by the road and stretch. Run around the car, get your blood flowing.
-play loud music in the car, preferably some techno or metal.
-stop at some parking lot and get an hour of sleep.

If you're drunk in such situation, you wouldn't be driving at all. If you are, there's no way to get well. The only thing that technically could get you going is cocaine
No other things, even an hour of sleep won't make you sober. You'd need to at least get 6 hours of undisturbed sleep.

Being drunk is much more dangerous than being tired if you ask me

Among this two conditions, which is more dangerous than the other when on steering?

The consequences when you sleep and when you are drunk while driving is similar and that is what makes both dangerous. But being drunk is more dangerous, because when you are feeling sleepy you can wake up by all means or wash your face to feel better. While being drunk is bad because you can't control how you feel when you are drunk. It is very hard to recollect yourself when you are drunk because the drink has total control over you not you over it. However, to be much safer you do not have to drink while driving and if you want to sleep go ahead and sleep before driving.

[Reynaldo]

The key takeaway is simple: don't drive under the influence of alcohol, and if you're feeling too tired to drive safely, pull over and rest. Your safety and the safety of others on the road should always be the priority.

[Linggajanitra]

Both are equally dangerous. Dangerous for other drivers who are already disciplined in traffic, and also dangerous for your own safety. Because both can reduce the ability to focus while driving. Drivers who are sleepy or drunk will give a slow reaction, so that the condition cannot respond if in a dangerous or dangerous condition. Alcohol can also affect the ability to think, coordinate and make it difficult to make decisions.

New AI driving systems alert drivers when they seem to drift off to sleep, but I personally wouldn't trust them with my personal data. If a driver was tired and is seen drifting out of the lane, that is a serious safety concern. However, it seems to require the honor system to punish people for that.

What would make more sense is to focus on how badly they are driving, with less concern as to why except to help the driver avoid having their permission to drive revoked for dangerous driving. Drifting in an out of the lane is probably mostly done by drunk drivers, but perhaps it doesn't matter why they are driving so badly and it is just as bad regardless of why, and should be treated the same regardless of the reasoning being drunk, tired, or just bad at driving.

[Accardo]

The dangerous that most people’s are the one bringing it to their self is the drunk. Because they know that is some thing can make them it if their sense, but they will still continue to they use it and when something happen to them they will be blamed innocent people’s.

Both scenarios still come with a warning while driving, in most cases I've seen, the driver won't get accident immediately but would recover from a first mistake that signals to the passengers or the driver if the person is alone in the vehicle, that something is wrong. When alone with nobody else in the car it's best to kill the engine and sleep, but when carrying other people some other person who can drive should take over the driver's seat, especially when drunkenness is the cause.

You just asked us to choose a lesser evil from two dangerous situations. A drunk driver is not unconscious, but he lacks the coordination to control the vehicle properly. It is not a good condition because it comes with overspending and poor judgment. However, a driver who is sleeping on the steering is unconscious and lacks knowledge of what is happening around them. A sleeping driver can cause a very fatal accident since he is totally out of his mind. A drunk driver can use the road but he would be prone to error. But someone who sleeps might not see the road because he is blank. But you don't have to drive if you are feeling sleepy or drunk.

[Reatim]

Among this two conditions, which is more dangerous than the other when on steering?

there’s really no answer here because they are both dangerous when drivers are sleepy they are encouraged to rest first maybe park the car somewhere and take a nap or drink some coffee it is especially hard during the night since it’s dark and they might not see incoming traffic or pedestrians

same for drunk people they are immediately stirred away from driving because being inhibited your senses are lowered you can’t think straight and can’t even walk straight so honestly how can you drive in that situation

[Kelward]

I've never compared the better off between these two major causes of accidents and I don't think that we're supposed to compare them. Both can lead to serious harms and death to the driver and passengers, they can both lead to the same fate which cannot be good. Somebody that is drunk and yet goes ahead to drive should be held responsible for any accidents that happens when he's driving. A sleepy driver can be excused because nobody can cheat nature, they might just be tired before handing the steering and succumb to sleep when driving. People that wants to drive should evaluate themselves whether they are in the right frame of mind to engage in driving because of accidents.
