Description	This chapter examines three road accidents which have occurred in New South Wales: a loss of control accident involving a small sedan colliding with a power pole in a rural village; a loss of control accident involving a large sedan colliding with a power pole in a regional city; and an accident involving a small sedan striking the third-last carriage of a moving train at night. The road environment covers the area of geometric road design, as well as the elements of road furniture such as: signs, road markings, crash-rail and traffic signals. In any road crash, the cause may be attributed to a combination of defects or defective performance in a number of factors. These factors are usually grouped under three headings: road environment; road user; and vehicle. The driver lost control of a motor car on a curve to the right. The car travelled across the road and struck a power pole. Book Name: Fatigue and Driving
