Bill 117 H.Res. 778 is a resolution introduced in the US Congress expressing support for the recognition of the week of November 7 through November 14, 2021, as "Drowsy Driving Prevention Week". The purpose of this resolution is to raise awareness about the dangers of drowsy driving and to encourage individuals to take steps to prevent it.

Drowsy driving is a serious issue that can lead to accidents, injuries, and even fatalities on the road. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drowsy driving is a factor in approximately 100,000 crashes each year in the United States. These crashes result in an estimated 1,550 deaths and 71,000 injuries.

The resolution highlights the importance of getting an adequate amount of sleep before driving, recognizing the warning signs of drowsiness while behind the wheel, and taking breaks during long trips to prevent fatigue. It also encourages the use of technologies such as lane departure warning systems and driver monitoring systems to help prevent drowsy driving. By designating the week of November 7 through November 14, 2021, as "Drowsy Driving Prevention Week", this resolution aims to educate the public about the risks of drowsy driving and promote safe driving practices. It is a bipartisan effort to address a critical issue that affects the safety of all road users.
