Dead tired or dead drunk? Fatigue kills - What Car? Says

Tired-driving is beginning to get the attention it needs - and it's about time. Our research shows that a tired driver could be more impaired than someone who is over the alcohol limit.

We support Brake's call for high-profile warnings of the dangers. Car makers can do more, too, by hastening the introduction of lane-change systems that warn drivers if they drift off course.

Ultimately, responsibility for staying safe rests with the individual. That means we all have to take the risks of driving while tired far more seriously.
