The Main Cause Of Accidents In The USA Is Drowsy Drivers
The Main Cause Of Accidents In The USA Is Drowsy Drivers.
Driving torpid is a chief factor in traffic accidents and deaths in the United States, federal robustness officials reported Thursday. Federal statistics state that 2,5 percent of murderous motor vehicle crashes and 2 percent of crashes with non-fatal injuries comprise drowsy driving. But, data gathering methods make it difficult to guestimate the actual number of accidents that involve drowsy drivers. In fact, some studies have estimated that between 15 percent and 33 percent of baneful crashes may involve sleepy drivers.
And deaths and injuries are more favoured in motor vehicle crashes that involve drowsy driving, the report stated. According to the gunfire by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 4 percent of drivers quizzed said they had driven while weary in the month before the survey. "One out of 25 people reported falling asleep while driving in the over month," said CDC epidemiologist Anne Wheaton, the report's model author. "If you think of how many cars you see every day, one out of 25 - that's a musical big number".
And those numbers may underestimate the scope of the problem. "These were people who realized they had fallen asleep while they were driving. If you tumble asleep for even a moment you may not realize it - so that's not even taking those grass roots into account".
