Research Abstract	When there is a fellow passenger, a traffic accident incidence is reduced to half. I tested it in a drive simulator to analyze a factor of the accident rate reduction when there was a fellow passenger. It deforms the condition that there is a virtual fellow passenger and reappears. The data to use for analysis were provided by an electroencephalograph. The words in conjunction with the episode were effective in attention awakening than words of the general attention awakening from analysis. The navigator in imitation of an expression had a speed suppressant effect.
