Answer:

Yawning, blinking frequently, having difficulty remembering the last few miles, and drifting in and out of your lane. It can lead to anything from a ticket to an accident.

Micro-sleep, yawning, and blurry vision are some of the signs of drowsy driving that one may experience.

Driving in a sleep deprived condition can actually lead to anything from a ticket to an accident. In drowsy condition, your response time becomes slower, you find it difficult to focus on your surroundings and easily start drifting in and out of your lane. Amongst all the signs micro-sleep is the most dangerous one as during this time you simply “blackout” and even if it is for couple of seconds, it can have some serious consequences such as unwanted accidents and injuries to oneself and others.
