New Zealand’s first ever “drowsy driving” educational guide published
New Zealander’s are finally being told the truth about the dangers of “drowsy driving”, largely thanks to the efforts of a sleep safety researcher and campaigner Martin Jenkins who has produced a handbook to help save lives.
Jenkin’s handbook is described as a “passport to survival” by police authorities and the handbook AIKILLA “In the blink of an eye” is now available.
Jenkins says “It identifies the causes of drowsy driving – when and why you are most at risk such as after a plane flight, fast food or on medication and it then tells you the steps you take to minimize your risk.”
While drowsy driving has long been recognised in other countries including the US, UK, Canada and Australia as a major killer on the roads, it has largely been downplayed by New Zealand transport authorities and policymakers.
“The book dispels some myths. It tells you what things won’t revive you when you are feeling drowsy.”
