sleep deprivation is actually worse than drink driving,
Date: Thursday, 14. May 2009
The internet is littered with opinions about driving. They range from rants about driving (usually "the other driver" ) to waxing lyrical about the joys of motoring and insightful comments on everything from racing to tailgating.
Some of it is great stuff and we'll seek it out. Your comments and blog suggestions are welcome.
Shiftwork and irregular sleep hours are a problem for nurses and doctors. Read sleep expert Dr Steve Poceta's blog.

sleep deprivation is actually worse than drink driving,
Driving Instructor,
Now that driving is an essential part of everyday life, it is important that your driving habbits are stress free, and that can be achieved to large extent by listening to your driving instructor.
Larry,
Everyday people are faced with a number of miles and hours throughout their process between work and family life. As you spent more time on the road you are faced with more and more frustration from the other drivers that you share the road with. One of the growing problems is the extended use of the cell phone while driving. If you sit back and pay attention you will find out that about 9 out 10 cars have drivers with the cell phone stuck to their ears. We all know that many people are not able to drive and us their cell phones at the same time. If many of these drivers could see themselves they would strongly agree. As big as problem that cell phones are they are not the only frustration that we are faced with on the road. Another big problem is the drivers who hang out in the right lane with no respect to the other drivers on the road. In many states the right lane is considered the passing lane and not to hang out in or use for your commute. In most driver training programs they teach the concept of not hanging out in the passing lane or fast lane, so can you say that these people missed that day and how did they pass the class.

The Respecter,
I think good driving is down to respect - respect for yourself, respect for other drivers and respect on the road. It's a simple philosophy! The Respecter

DO YOU QUALIFY?
You must be 18 years or older, have a valid drivers license, and completely fill out an application(s). Some of the companies listed in our directory request a credit check, not all of them.
You must be a citizen or permanent resident of one of the following countries: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Spain.
Selection depends upon considerations such as driving record, driving habits, location, etc. Most companies require a minimum driving mileage and a clean driving record (no violations within the past 12 months). TheFreeCar does not supply cars or employment and cannot guarantee your acceptance. We only guarantee the legitimacy of these programs and the application process.
If you have been convicted of a felony or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or have had more than two serious moving violations in the last two years, we cannot guarantee that your application will be accepted.
