I heard from a good friend that there was a bad car crash, this was caused by a person falling asleep behind the wheel.I think that there are alot of people that fight to stay awake while trying to drive to and from places.Lorry drivers are prone to this as well.Out of all the places for people to fall asleep though.

from this topic i can refer to my uncle who suffered a great accident while he fell asleep driving his car..the accident was so deadly that his 8 seater van crushed from all sides and looked like a 2 seater car but luckily he didn't got a single scratch..later we came to know that he was suffering from cold and had taken some medicine,because of which he went to sleep while he was driving..

A friend's husband fell asleep at the wheel...twice! The first time he broke his collar bone, and the second time there wasn't any harm. Sleep, is so important, just like drinking water and eating. Without it, we quickly become stressed out and fat! What do you mean by "lorry drivers?"

Hmm, if people are extremely tired, they should park their car at roadside, or find a gas station to take a few minutes rest. Until you are absolutely sure that you are capable of driving home, you can take on the road again. I just don't want to see those big accident happen in the highway.

It happened to us once and we almost fell on a cliff!
After that incident I never rode with a sleepy driver again! But seriously though, I always stop at motel or park my car so I can sleep when I am sleepy. I never drive when I'm dosing a little. It would be dangerous not only to you and you passengers but to other motorists as well.
