Too many stories to tell! Once though, was smart enough to pull over for a few minutes. Driving two vehicles and radioed over to the other one that I needed to stop and rest. He pulled alongside me and I slept for a bit.

He wakes me up over the radio: “Hey - wakeup!”

I jerk my head up and slam on the brakes. Looking around with my heart in my stomach - oh, that’s right - I had pulled over!

That’s why I always pull the keys out of the ignition when I pull over for some uplanned sleep. I’m afraid that if I leave them in the ignition, I might have some half dream that would cause me to half awake, start the vehicle, put in in gear and have a collison while I was mostly asleep.
