      <subfield code="a">Experts hotly debate how big a role fatigue plays in truck crashes. The cause of a collision can be though to pinpoint - especially if drivers fear their livelihood is at stake if they admit they nodded off. A 1990 NTSB study found that 31 percent of heavy truck crashes in which the driver died involved fatigue. A 1995 NTSB report concluded fatigue was a factor in 58 percent of the 100 single-truck, nonfatal collissions studied. The U. S. Department of Transportation limits truckers to 10 hours of driving followed by eight hours of duty for a maximum of 70 hours in eight days. But many experts criticize the regulations as antiques. Many date from the 1930s when there where no superhighways and computerized trucks</subfield>
