BRAKE - now everyone is asleep at the wheel.
Discussion
Brake were being interviewed on the radio this morning. This time warning of the danger of driving when tired or drowsy. Such astounding advice was given by them about pulling off the road for a break when tired or having a coffee and a power nap. I'd never have thought of this myself.
I would say most responsible drivers know when they are tired and what action to take. There will always be a minority of people who think they know best and have an accident after nodding off, but they won't be the kind of people to listen to Brake either.
I couldn't believe this unoriginal advice was being trotted out as if it was a major new breakthrough!

People are always asleep at the wheel on Huntingdon ring road with 11 sets of traffic lights and 50 metres between.... yawn... no wonder the road is always congested..... anyway back to Brake... they do have some reasonable ideas BUT they bugger up their odd one good ideas with 20 rubbish stupid ones...

I find when tootling along I feel bored, lack concentration and can fall asleep.
The cure is to drive fast enough to get your adrenaline going - around double the limit ought to do it.

I went through a phase of driving gently, fuel efficiently etc 55-60 on the Mway etc
kept losing concentration and making silly errors.
Back up to normal driving and I'm fine now.
Why would you drive if you were awake or asleep? It's far too dangerous.
(I've driven tired before. Typically I'm not falling asleep at the wheel but I'm a little grumpy because it's 6:15am and I'm on my way to work. Typically it seems the Brake loonies are either jobless mothers or simply jobless/retired

They're mostly bicyclists, enviroloons and all are control freaks and dangerous.(I've driven tired before.
