Drinking and driving has been limited and the recent introduction of roadside cameras has started to reduce the number of pedestrians killed by speeding. But there are two other major causes of unnecessary deaths and accidents... and both are connected withdrivers. The first is the use of mobile phones. A survey of 700 drivers showed that motorists using mobile phones have more accidents than those without, including those using hands-free phones. The survey - published in the New England Journal of Medicine - showed that those accidents happened not because drivers' hands were occupied but because they were not careful enough. There's only one solution - the use of mobile phones must be regarded as breaking the law.The second cause of needless accidents is driver fatigue. We all know the symptoms even if far too many of us don't want to admit them. We may even fall asleep for a minute or two without realising it. It could be that someone else travelling in the opposite directionat 70 mph in the other lane of the same highway is also struggling to stay awake. Studies by the Sleep Research Laboratory at the University of Loughborough suggest that 16 to 23 per cent of major accidents are caused by driver fatigue. Mid-afternoon is the mostdangerous period and male drivers under 30 the main victims. What can be done? The Department of Transport recommends that sleepy drivers stop driving. That's common sense but the message won't get through unless it is supported by a media campaign. This is one of those few areas where politicians could make a big contribution to saving lives if they themselves could overcome their usual complaint of political fatigue.1.
