Driving Drowsy, near disaster.

I have done the same thing about five miles from home around midnight but I woke up when the tires went off the pavement just before I got too the guard rail. That was about 30 yrs. ago. Not so funny how funny history repeats it's self about two years ago coming through Illinois on my way to Missouri all of a sudden I got that I can't keep my eyes open feeling but I thought for sure that I could make the rest area about a mile ahead of me, once again I woke up when my tires went off the highway. Anybody and everybody when you get that feeling don't try to make that next mile or however long it is, pull over now or as soon as you can find a ramp or shoulder don't stop on the highway. I'm glad that you got it straightened out without further complications, but that will wake you up. But by the grace of God you, me and a lot of others could of been killed and done the same too some innocent victims.
