It's a direct quote from the DTLR (Dept of Transport etc) campaign. There won't be a copyright issue.
It's something I feel strongly about.

How do you suggest I include it?--blockquote, or what...?
I realise you feel strongly about it--very much so

There are two things that you could do - either canibalise it, or use it as a whole.
I would be tempted to use the first bit about fatigue and accidents as an introduction to the piece and to pick bits out of the rest and slot them in.
If you were to do it as a blockquote, it might be best not to italicize it - that makes it very difficult to read. The advice is from DTLR (Dept of Transport Local Government and the Regions).

Okay, it is updated. I have one more question on the Department of Transport Local Government and the Regions--is it in the UK, US or somewhere else? I have it listed as UK, but I don't know...

It's UK. You can find the campaign details by the usual web starts followed by - think.[URL Removed By Moderator]

I've just linked to the UK and the US transit authority thingies that I mentioned in the entry... Excuse the word 'thingy', should it bother you...

Ah, you saw it before the Mods got to it! And I thought I was being so careful.
The entry's looking better and better.

Nope, actually, I didn't... I'm just extremely good at making efficient use of Google 
. Thanks for being helpful, though!

I thought the NHTSA site was very good on fatigue and I shall use the information in a work capacity. Thanks .

Nice one Shee, as said above, your article will now enter the editorial process. A sub-editor will massage and tweak it to the editorial guidelines, the senior editors will then further tweak, proof and approve it and then it will be queued for its grand entrance on the front page.
Nice one
