I have driven home late before, and felt tired so drive with the window open and go slow but last week i drove home about 50 miles after st paddies night out and i felt bright as a button, fell asleep about 1 mile from home, like i just blacked out, glanced up and was drifting towards a bridge wall, Holy camel.
I wrote my dads car off years ago and it shook me, but this has shook me more, i was going about 60-65mph on an empty road at night and keep thinking what if.
Just wanted to tell everyone what a tit i am like!

ive felt tired before when driving, but never to the point where i would close my eyes, and if i did come to that point then i'd stop. Doesnt help wearing contact lenes either when i get tired!!

when my family drove down to cornwall for a holiday, i went in my dads car with my mum n dad n me, n my gran followed us in her car with my grandad, aunty n uncle... well i was looking back thru the rear window n saw my grans car drift into the curb she was on a bridge too so if she had mounted it n gone over she'd have ended up in the Asda below it
she stopped after n we went back to her n she blamed every1 else in the car coz they were all asleep too! i was only young but i screamed when i saw it hit the curb! my mum n dad shit themselves when i screamed lol

ive done this, just 200 yrds from home, ended up across sum1's front garden!  And on way back from late nite out at the beach, on the M20 coming home, stopped for 3 cans of the red stuff then set off again!
But, best one was coming back from Maxlive last year, was so tired, dont remember most of the drive home, except almost ending up the arse of some lorry on the motorway!!
