Falling asleep is not the only threat. Early in my military career (1987) I had a short time off to get from MI to OK and spend a couple of days with my parents and get back.

I could not figure it out. It was too bright to be in the distance but it appeared to be keeping pace (55-60mph) with me. A little while later, I saw two red lights ahead but they were alternating. My wife, asked if I was going to stop for the train crossing. I had to brake hard. Yes, the light was a train's locomotive paralleling me and about to cross infront of me at the rural grade crossing (no stop arms).
