Truckers Plus Coffee Equals Safer Roads

In a case-control study in Australia, long-haul truck drivers who reported using caffeinated drinks to stay awake were significantly less likely to have crashes, reported Lisa Sharwood, PhD, of the University of Sydney in Australia, and colleagues in BMJ.
Compared with drivers who did not take caffeinated products, drivers who said they consumed caffeinated substances for the purpose of staying awake had a 63% reduced likelihood of crashing after adjusting for age, distance driven, hours of sleep, night driving, and breaks taken, Sharwood's group found.
