Physiological response levels of five taxi drivers who had been driving for 10 days were investigated. In addition questionnaires concerning health and fatigue were distributed among 1062 drivers. The results are as follows:1. Physiological overloads were almost always caused by extended working hours, reduced recess, speeding, accepting long distance destination passengers, as well as heavy daytime traffic and an effort to earn as much as possible under the existing percentage system within the present 16 hour workday law.2. It is interesting to note that the tests of subjective symptoms such as C.F.F; sensory motor functions and cardiac functions revealed valuable data. The subjective test results were markedly different at midnight compared to other times during the day.3. There was a close relation observed between the taxi-driver's fatigue, diseases and subjective symptoms as well as the working conditions, long distant runs, work hours and the constrained posture resulting from continuous driving.Conclusively speaking, in order to prevent accidents due to fatigue on the part of automobile drivers we propose to improve working conditions, that is to reconsider the present system of the percentage basis with the long working hours involved therein.
