The Halifax Courier refers to it as \u201cresearch\u201d. I sometimes wonder if these local papers know what that word actually means?<\/p>\n

Fitness to drive<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t drive if you\u2019re feeling tired or unwell. Even a cold can make it unsafe for you to drive . If you find you\u2019re losing concentration or not feeling well, keep your speed down and give yourself more time to react. <\/p>\n

If there is an accident and if someone is not fit to drive, careless driving might be there, but we would have to have evidence. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The entire point of the \u201cresearch\u201d is summed up by the insurance industry\u2019s \u201csuspicions\u201d that a lot of \u201cprangs\u201d happen while people are \u201cunder the weather\u201d. So, another piece of astounding science, eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
