N2  - A revised estimate of the incidence of crashes involving driver drowsiness/fatigue is provided based on analysis of General Estimates System (GES) data and a review of 562 GES cases from 1993. Cases selected for review had coded characteristics suggesting a "Drift-Out-of-Lane" scenario but were not cited as drowsiness-related in GES. The case review identified some "definite," "probable," and "possible," drowsy driver crashes not captured by the normal GES data coding process. It indicated that drowsiness/fatigue is a discernible causal factor in 1.2 to 1.6% of Police Accident Reports, as compared to the baseline GES estimate of 0.9%.<p />
