In my opinion the most dangerous thing about driving is driver fatigue. I am not talking about driving 20 hrs straight. I am talking about middle of the day driving where a lack of sensory input causes one to nod off. I am particularly prone to this and think it is a worse problem than drinking and driving.

The nice thing about aggressive hypermiling is that it requires you to think and continually do things. This causes you to stay awake.

Therefore, IMO, hypermiling is not a safety hazard. Infact it has a positive safety benefit.
