'Micro-sleep' durian driver takes out cars, bike in Phuket

[ifoo_786]

I am facing this problem from last 2 years... And i got the solution which is to drive fast... I feel drowsy at 80kmph or lower speed but when i am over 100 i feel active This is kinda weird but it works for me

[fazalwahab11375]

This is kinda very weird. You can't drive at such speeds in urban areas and if you are drowsy you are calling for problems. Many people go under influence of sleep in stop and go traffic. Few years ago I was driving behind a car in city. The light turned green from red and the car at front didn't move. Even after a slight honk as no one use a horn here. Till the time the car next to me stopped parallel to him and driver came out and knocked on his window. He was sleeping.

Well nothing as concrete as such. Its always recommended to stop and take a little walk or rest as soon as you feel you are going in micro sleep. Few people have shown in improvement while chewing gum.

@faiz.aslam.121 I hope you don't do like this. I read your story of sleeping on motorway..

^Sadly, same as that. My seat was waaaay further back though. Alhamdulillah, not much damage.
This incident still questions me everyday " Why did rim only get a tiny bit scratched, but none on the body? "

I still don't get it- When you look from an angle, the tires are inwards and the body is outwards.
Maybe due to speed, some camber adjustment happens. Huh?

Was travelling on the motorway from Lahore to Islamabad a few months back and fell asleep for like one second at 120kph. Car had changed lanes and was about to hit the center divider. Immediately stopped for 15 minutes at Bhera.

[fazalwahab11375]

You did the right thing. You know at 120kmph you cover about 110 feet per second. Yes one hundred and ten feet. I am glad you stopped and that is the right way. Drive Safe.
