Almost one in five drivers have dozed off behind the wheel, a shocking new report has revealed. Of those who were nodding off, a worrying three in ten (29 per cent) have done so on the motorway doing speeds up to 70 miles per hour. The report also found a quarter of men have fallen asleep while driving, making them almost twice as likely as women (13 per cent) to do so. The Safety on Wheels Report, by Post Office Car Insurance, also looked at how often tiredness or a lack of concentration caused accidents. Three in ten drivers have experienced an incident, from missing a pedestrian crossing to hitting another vehicle, because of a lapse in concentration. Meanwhile, almost half (49 per cent) of UK drivers have driven while not concentrating. |
