Arlington notes a national NTSB conference on fatigue in transportation inspired by Daphne Izer whose son Jeff died on a Maine highway. She pushes laws to hold trucking firms and drivers liable and to expand rest areas while officials cite fatigue as a factor in about one third of 182 fatal heavy truck crashes. Lack of sleep is cumulative and must be addressed.
