The End of Daylight Savings Time Increases Risk of Drowsy Driving

The National Road Safety Foundation Offers Tips to Stay Awake on the Road; More Than a Third of Drivers Admit to Falling Asleep at Wheel

When we set our clocks back an hour Saturday night, our nation's roads and highways will become a bit more dangerous, according to the National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF), a non-profit group that provides free driver safety programs for schools and other organizations nationwide. Adele Kristiansson, NRSF Director of Marketing and Legislative Affairs says, "Since night falls an hour earlier, the commute home from work or school will likely be in the dark.

All of these visions can indeed come true during a vacation -- right after you check your office e-mail, voicemail, fax machine, pager, Palm Pilot, Blackberry, work cell phone, website, and intranet.
