> Study: Drivers who experience shift work sleep disorder are 3x more likely to be involved in a vehicle crash

This would mean (potentially) 200% higher risk, not 300%.

PS.: Further down a 300% additional risk is stated, but it's confusing at best.

Using terms like 200% more should probably be avoided given that some percentage of people will equate that with 2x and others will equate it with 3x.

Have you or anyone else been able to pull the absolute numbers involved here that led to the 300% figure?
