   10-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or at excessive speeds are widely considered to be the main causes of serious accidents involving a single vehicle. However, a new in-depth on-scene study in Sweden reveals that driver fatigue, slippery roads and inexperience could be just as important and should be factored into the design of new vehicle safety features, according to researchers writing in the International Journal of Vehicle Safety.
