I went off the road once in the late 70's after a week long fishing binge, working by day, fishing all night, napping during lunch and for an hour or two after dinner.
I fell asleep on my way to work on day 9, drove my 67 dodge power wagon off into a ditch on 495..I was lucky.., I locked the hubs and crawled back on the highway in low gear..had some "splanin" to do, but was wide awake all the way to work.
. Again, I'm sure there are a few more "whackos" here with similar tales..that's why I LOVE this site.

I was dangerous. I would drink Rock Star, Coffee, and have a playlist of great driving songs. Still fell asleep behind the wheel. when I got home my heart was pounding and could not sleep the few winks before going back to work.
