The Drivers Seat STRESS ASSOCIATED WITH DRIVING CAN BE SERIOUS Despite the seeming light- hearted attitude some motor­ ists display on the nation's high­ ways, a recent scientific ex­ periment proves "driving an automobile in today's traffic is not recreation, but hard work." Plenty of stress is involved. Tests of 600 drivers, as re­ ported in an international health magazine, showed a definite in­ crease in both pulse rate and blood pressure when behind the wheel. Stress factors can be of serious proportions in heavy traffic, and "stress exists even when a driver is on a rural road." Pulse rates of the 600 sub­ ject drivers generally rose from 20 to 40 per cent in heavy city traffic. Only 60 showed no appreciable increase in pulse rate. About 480 drivers showed pulse rates 10 per cent higher than normal when negotiating lightly-traveled rural roads. Pulse rates 20 per cent high­ er than normal were noticed in 60 drivers. The report noted most skilled drivers use a high degree of "automatism," tjiat is, they perform such functions as shift­ ing, accelerating and decelerat­ ing more or less automatically. But, it said, "attentive alert­ ness' (conscious awareness of what one is doing) still existed even with the highly experienced driver -- an explanation for the pulse rate rise on rural roads where there is relatively little strain on the driver. Because driving does in­ crease stress on the circula­ tory system, operation of an automobile by persons with car- dio-vascular disorders can pose a very real hazard. The report cited the test­ ing of two persons with ny- ocardial disease who were driv­ ing in a hazardous manner be­ cause stress accentuated their disability. Both failed to recog­ nize their driving endangered < other persons, and themselves. Increased stress factors as­ sociated with driving can be dangerous to persons withother diseases and ailments, hyper­ tension, diabetes, liver and kid­ ney ailments and some types of asthma, among them.
