Transport / Transportation / Shipping | | English term or phrase: corrected | In the following context:
"Population-based information regarding traffic and industrial accidents also suggests a link between sleepiness and life-threatening events. The highest rate of automobile accidents occurs in the early morning hours, which is notable because the fewest automobiles are on the road during these hours. Also during these early morning hours, the greatest degree of sleepiness is experienced. Long-haul truck drivers have accidents most frequently (even corrected for hours driving before the accident) during the early morning hours, again when sleepiness reaches its zenith."
The part between brackets doesn't seem to make sense. I'm even considering it being a typo. Any thoughts are welcome. |
