An effect I experienced when I drove to the coast was in the late afternoon when the shadows of the trees partially covered the road they created this zebra stripe of shadow and light. After 10-15 minutes of driving in the constant flicker from light to shadow I started to get very tired. Now, I’ve driven 14-15 hour days on plenty of occasions but I’ve never experienced this before and we had only been driving for just over two hours and that includes breaks.
Having never heard or experienced the effect before I wonder how many accidents are caused by driving in the late afternoon when the shadows are long.
