AB  - Sleepiness accounts for approximately 20% of major highway motor vehicle 
      accidents (MVAs) and the most common medical disorder associated with sleepiness 
      is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA patients are 2 to 3 times more likely to 
      have an MVA than the general population, although continuous positive airway 
      pressure therapy can remove this excess risk. Several jurisdictions have 
      introduced regulations to limit driving in patients with moderate or severe OSA 
      associated with sleepiness until the disorder is effectively treated. Successful 
      implementation of such regulations requires education regarding risk-benefit 
      relationships of relevant stakeholders, including patients, clinicians, and 
      employers in the transportation industry.
