Its official driving tierd is dangerous

[Gixer]

Anyone else seen this news on the PH main page?

Good job the Gov had that study done - I never knew that.

For those that don't know then let me tell you

1) Driving while asleep increases your chance of crashing

2) You have more chance of falling asleep if you are driving when tierd.

Is this true ? I mean, who would have thought it. I suppose I'd better stop wrapping myself in a duvet when on the road then ! Then again, maybe this research is flawed like the governments research on how speed is responsible for almost every accident that has ever happened, and that people pulling out without looking, or indicating, or any other number of dangerous manouvers has absolutely no bearing on it all .
Here's an idea Mr. Blair - how about replacing all the Gatsos and other cameras with big alarm clocks that go off whenever anyone drives past with their eyes closed ?

Oh my god, I can't believe it. I thought crashes were cuased by all the drivers that slam their brakes on when they see the reduce speed warnings because of non-existant congestion.
I better stop dosing up on sleeping tablets before journeys then, and remove the rotating moon and star projecting light effect from the inside of my car.....

actually gixer, when you say driving 'tierd', do you really mean with other vehicles balanced in an attractive display above and below.. ? cos this too may be dangerous. dunno, maybe we'll get the DOT to do a study. how many cars can you stack on top of each other at 70mph before an accident is caused... answers ?????

Actually guys, I have to agree with the gowvernment, speed is a factor in every accident.

If nothing was moving how could cars crash into each other?

Is Stephen Hawking online to argue against this point?

The faster I go the less sleepy I feel, it works for me

I have decided this is the best way to prevent falling asleep in the car.......



....drive a bed

[franv8]

Probably safer in that too, due to the add on wooden roll-cage...
