Dozing Drivers A Problem on U.K. and U.S. Roads
I see that Malcolm Stephenson, in his U.K. blog, has noted that British drivers are falling asleep at the wheel.
An estimated 2.3 million drivers fall asleep at the wheel every year, according to new research.
Of 1,000 drivers questioned in a joint survey by road safety charity Brake and recovery company
Green Flag, 7% admitted to falling asleep at the wheel.
Lately, I’ve seen a number of articles in in U.S. publications on dozing drivers as well. Evidently many single vehicle accidents–when a person drives into a tree or a guardrail–are the result of the driver falling asleep at the wheel.
