You certainly have a good point Michael, and one that adds a modicum of
relevance to the original post.
I guess that most gliding venues around Australia involve long drives,
certainly ours at Cunderdin can be over two and a half hours each way.
Chuck in the factors of a long Gliding day, possible dehydration ,exposure
to high temperatures and the stage is set for serious fatigue induced
traffic mishaps.
So far we've been lucky, but the really vulnerable drivers are those who
travel alone. All the more reason for encouraging car-pooling methinks.

the long drive home (with cruise control on). Especially after a long

It would be interesting to do a straw poll to see how many people have
had fatigue related accidents/incidents on the drive home.
