One on 10 motorists admit that they have fallen asleep at the wheel according to a new report. Nodding off kills 300 people a year in the UK, says Green Flag who recently carried out the survey.

Researchers also found out that nearly 60% of the 1000 road users questioned, confessed to taking the wheel when “very tired”.

Men were the worst culprits, with two thirds owning up to driving with fatigue hanging over them.
