"These sobering revelations about unsuspected hazards for pilots and drivers offer major leads in reducing the ongoing unacceptable accident toll." -- The Honorable Carol A. Roberts, Chair of the Transportation Committee for the National Association of Counties

From the Publisher

Numerous accidents in the air and on the road continue despite impressive advances in plane/automobile technology and traffic engineering. This indicates that many of the causes of pilot error and driver error remain unresolved. Dr. Roberts has addressed this challenge for four decades as a clinician, consultant and researcher. In addition to his 1000-page text, THE CAUSES, ECOLOGY AND PREVENTION OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, he represented the United States with the Council of Europe in an attempt to formulate international driver standards.
