KILLERS AT THE WHEEL
Road accidents are one of the biggest causes of death which could be avoided.
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 with drivers. 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 direction at 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 most dangerous 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.
