Enlarge CDA May 18, 2023 0 A test is being developed that, like a breathalyzer test, will detect tiredness and drowsiness in drivers. Tiredness and drowsiness behind the wheel cause many traffic accidents each year. Now a new technology could accurately detect if lack of sleep has been the cause of an accident and would make it easier to take action against the driver (or employer) at fault. All this thanks to a blood test that will determine if a motorist has caused an accident by being tired while driving. And we’re not talking about a minor problem, as recent research suggests that driving on less than five hours of sleep is just as dangerous as exceeding the legal blood alcohol limit in many countries. It will be able to detect if you have not slept enough “There has to be ...

Everything indicates that Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez They are going to fight for the Formula 1 world championship alone. Red Bull, to date, has had no rival: it has claimed all five victories (three for Max and two for Checo).
