I drove when dangerously tired.
Years back I'd driven all night across Nevada on I-80 and dozed off about 6:30 AM on the salt flats west of Salt Lake City. Woke up as my car went onto the median and escaped with a fender scraped on a reflector post.
Never even came close since then, even when logging 1000 mile days.
Then 3 weeks back, short on sleep and jet-lagged from too much travel in too many time zones I headed off to Rochester NY and found myself on the verge of dozing off about 20 miles before my destination. I made it OK, but it made me remember how hazardous this can be. And how it can sneak up on you.
