Society must deal with “driver fatigue” as it dealt with ” driving with alcohol”. We all drive when we’re tired but there is a difference with yawning and having you’re eyes close. “Tracy Morgan” should be the poster boy for the change we need in our society. Here are just a few ways (below) we can start making a difference.
(1) AIR IN CAR- Automobiles should be tested for Co level inside the vehicle and have extra oxygen pumped in.
(2) MONITORS- Cars should be able to sense when a person’s eyes are drifting off the road and send a loud alert to wake them up.
(3) TRUCK DRIVERS MONITOR- The amount of hours that a truck driver works consistently must be monitored not to exceed a certain dangerous level. If the driver works past this level they can personally be held liable for any accidents that occur.
