Almost three quarters of drivers take life-threatening risks on icy roads


Seven in ten (71%) drivers surveyed have dangerously poor knowledge when
it comes to winter stopping distances
Two thirds (66%) of drivers believe others do not leave enough space to
stop safely
More than half of drivers questioned (54%) think other drivers travel
too fast in poor weather conditions

Dopey drivers falling asleep at the wheel:

:
: Hundreds of drivers admit to doing this dangerous thing while driving

DRIVERS are putting their lives at risk by falling asleep while driving
according to shocking new research. Hundreds of motorists admitted to
turning the ignition key and driving a car despite feeling tired when
they set off. It comes after stats reveal a quarter of all fatal
accidents are caused by drivers who doze off while at the wheel.
