Results of a just-published study (read about it here, here and here) reminds us again that driving while drowsy is hazardous. Also not recommended is driving while intoxicated, driving while talking on the cell phone, and driving while putting on makeup. Or any combination of the above. I’ve had a few safety cases involving long haul truckers and I always suggest taking a look at the driving logs, then applying MapQuest and Excel to see how fast they would have had to drive to comply with their records.
While there is a substantial amount of research on the driving while drowsy (here, here and here) there are surprisingly few books on the subject. The classic for the general audience is probably Stanley Coren’s Sleep Thieves. Recommended.
