Driver Sleepiness (EDM310)

Driver Sleepiness

EDM number 310 in 2000-01, proposed by David Taylor on 08/02/2001.

That this House recognises that driver sleepiness accounts for 10 to 20 per cent. of all road accidents and one in five of the accidents on motorways and trunk roads; notes that nearly 45,000 Britons die or are seriously injured every year on roads, with sleepy drivers thought to be a major cause; acknowledges that sleep related crashes are easily preventable; welcomes research from the Loughborough Sleep Research Centre on driver sleepiness that also points to the usefulness of functional energy drinks; welcomes the 'THINK!' initiatives already undertaken by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to maintain its momentum in promoting awareness of driver sleepiness and to re-enforce this message with an education campaign targeted particularly towards the high risk group - young male drivers aged under 30 years.

This motion has been signed by a total of 71 MPs.
