Driving Safety After IB Workday
Hi,
I'm asking this for a friend working outside NYC / London who has to drive to the job. I have read some articles comparing driving drunk vs. sleepy and how the latter is equally as dangerous as the former. Because he's located outside NYC & London, taking the subway or tube in the morning & cab back at night is not an option. How do any of you commuters deal with the drive back at night (or morning)? What do you do when you're really on the verge of passing out? Unfortunately my friend is about ~40 minutes away from his job, so I would really appreciate any advice here..
Thanks!
get limo services. Some of them are 24/7 i believe. its pricey but its worth it.
why is the black car back home at night not an option?
Doesn't his firm pay for this or does he not usually stay late enough to qualify for one??
the MD in my team last summer lived waaaayyy outside London and he didn't seem to have this problem ---> use National Rail
I agree that driving while tired is pretty damn dangerous, perhaps try turning the radio up loud, put the AC on high and put your driver side window down?
What about people in Los Angeles? As far as I'm aware, there's no decent public transit in LA.
my md told me a story about an analyst he had that fell asleep at an intersection at 3am and was awaken by a cop - this was in la
Have been in an accident due to drowsiness - my advice is to make yourself uncomfortable as possible - take chug of tabasco/hot sauce down your throat with no water afterwards so that you are scorching , take caffeine by the gallon if you have to, whatever. In my (limited) personal experience windows down and radio loud did next to nothing to help keep me alert.

Try to take car service home and leave your own vehicle in office parking till the next day. Personally, I get concerned about driving late at night because I definitely feel my overall sense of awareness slipping. I've even tried loud rock music in order to keep me from dozing off, but I find that it ends up being more a distraction than anything else and sometimes it even agitates me. Maybe other people are better at driving late at night, but after a long stressful day, driving just isn't my forte. Doesn't sound like it's much of a strength for your friend, either.
