minus-squarefroh42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoFalling asleep while driving doesn’t work like that. Your brain just shuts off. Many years ago I was going the Autobahn from Munich to Nuremberg - going with 150 km/h, 95 mph or so. I was driving in the middle lane of 3, it was Friday early evening (around 6) and still daylight. As said I was on the middle lane, low traffic (fortunately!) and suddenly I was on the left lane. I was just out for a few seconds, enough time for the car to wander over to the left lane. That probably was my closest situation to dying in traffic. (I switched my schedule to not drive 2 hours after work THAT DAY)
minus-squareNightAuthor@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoIdk, I’ve definitely been falling asleep and thought “aren’t I driving, why are my eyes closed?” And then quickly open them.
minus-squarefroh42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoThanks for mentioning that - I updated my wording, as I didn’t want to say “it can’t happen like this”, I just did want to say “There might be no warning at all”.
