My brother's childhood friend fell asleep at the wheel when he was 16. He wound up crossing over into oncoming traffic, and hitting a huge delivery truck head-on. He died instantly. So, ever since then, I've been pretty strict about having enough sleep when I drive, especially when I take long trips.
thats rough. my buddy flipped his van. that was funny.. because he walked away from it. but yea.. rough. i always fall alseep at the wheel. it sucks. i've crossed lanes... hit things.. lots of times. i gotta watch myself
if i ever find myself falling asleep, I just floor it. I mean really, go as fast as i can wherever i am going. It's hard to fall aslep when your adrenaline is flowing...
