Just driven back from Andover but had to go slowly because my wife was following in the Pajero. Soooo SLOWLY....

Just staring at the back of a rover then when he turned off the back of a civic.

Nearly fell asleep 3 times.

Mine would have to be on Friday after the LOT day at Donnington where I completely wore out my front brake pads and had to drive from Donnington to Cardiff in Friday rush hour without touching the brakes at all.

That included a fuel stop and a wrong turn.

It takes a bit of concentration I can tell you.

I did fall asleep on the A1 approx 5 years ago in an old Citroen BX. It had their hydralic suspension and a fantastic heater which when combined with my tiredness just rocked me off to sleep.

I hit a curb on the nearside and promptly woke up as I was about 100yds from a big lamp post. I was very lucky.

When I know I'm going to do a lot of miles in a day I drink Red Bull. I don't feel tired at all with that stuff in me no matter how long I've been awake. Driving a bit quicker also helps...
