Driver fatigue

This accident may have been a case of driver fatigue or perhaps health related.

The tracks leaving the road were gradual and straight with no skid marks at all.

The area where it occurred is near the end of a very long stretch of highway bordered only by fields and wooded areas for miles, a fertile area for tunnelvision to occur.

That wreck looks like a complete mess. I hope they all lived through it, but it looks pretty bad. I used to work on a volunteer emergency squad and had to deal with terrible wrecks quite often that were mostly the result of a DUI. It was an experience that I will never forget.

Hey, this is a cool blog! I'm a bit of a traffic nerd, so I subscribed. You should go to feedburner.com and burn a feed, then post the link on your blog. That will make it easier for people to subscribe.

Have you read the new book Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt? I posted about it on my blog here — Traffic and car culture — even though it was a bit of a departure from my topic. It's a really fascinating book.

Road safety first. This should be the priority of all the drivers to avoid accidents. I have found best gadgets to keep you safe in terms of road safety. First is No Nap . If you are feeling drowsy but needed to keep yourself on the road and just want to make it to your destination as soon as possible without causing a major accident. And you have tried all the un-effective strategies to keep you awake just like drinking 10 cups of coffee, blasting some punk music, or drinking some old stuff like energy drink this is the best gadget for you. The No Nap is a small, easy to use, device that will keep you and others safe during a long, drowsy drive. All you need to do is turn the device on, adjust the wake up angle switch, and place it behind your ear. Then when your head slumps forward as you begin to doze off behind the wheel, the No Nap produces a loud, powerful beeping noise that will snap you out of your snooze. It runs on low battery consumption, and its ergonomic design fits comfortably behind your ear. This gadget has been popular with truckers who spend long hours on the road and it could be useful for keeping many others safe on the highway as well. So why take a risk in driving you might not just save your life but start caring for others too.

A sustainable funding source is required for the implementation of road safety measures. Two sources for financing road safety which are becoming more popular are road safety levies on insurance premiums, thereby extending the focus from compensation to prevention, and road funds which are usually based on fuel levies.
