This is a non-controversial resolution with support from both parties that does not require any federal spending.

Key Points

This resolution asks the House of Representatives to officially recognize the first week of November as a time to focus on the dangers of driving while tired.
It highlights that being awake for 24 hours straight makes a driver just as dangerous as someone who is over the legal blood alcohol limit for drinking and driving.
The goal is to teach people about the importance of getting seven to nine hours of sleep and to warn them about how certain medications can make driving unsafe.
Research shows that drowsy driving causes hundreds of thousands of crashes and thousands of deaths every year, many of which could be prevented with better awareness.
