	Coffee and Safer Driving

SUMMARY: Did you know that driving a vehicle when feeling sleepy causes more deaths and serious injury than drink driving? A safe counter measure to driver sleepiness, especially when a driver has reached the stage of fighting sleep, is to STOP driving, DRINK one or two cups of coffee (containing in total about 150 mg of caffeine) and take a short nap for about 15 minutes.
