Nevertheless, driving simulator studies failed to predict the real-world accident risk. Two-thirds of patients with OSAS will never experience a car crash, so that restricting their driving licence because of an OSAS diagnosis is not feasible.

Driver fatigue and highway driving: a simulator study.

Long duration of driving is a significant cause of fatigue-related accidents on motorways or major roadways. The fatigue caused by driving for extended periods acutely impairs driver alertness and performance and can compromise transportation safety. This study quantitatively measured the progression of driver fatigue and identified the conservative safe duration of continuous highway driving. ...
