Partly-completed Mumbai-Nagpur Super Expressway has emerged as a "killer" - reporting at least 195 big and small accidents that claimed 95 lives and left many more injured in less than 5 months. The VNIT report, prepared by the Traffic Engineering Department students, has claimed that after long hours of driving without break, drivers tend to develop "highway hypnosis" leading to such accidents. "Highway hypnosis" is a condition when a driver zones out while driving, unable to remember what occurred in that specific period, just keeping driving without absolute control over the steering, and paying no attention to anything happening around him/her., Mumbai News, Times Now
