    Yea I usually drive in rush hour so I stay alert but I got out early today so it was pretty open. Also, on that stretch of highway theres always Dallas County Constables there... so no speeding for me there

    O yea and my cruise control doesn't work haha maybe you can fix it for me :)

    I can't fall asleep because I almost always have the windows open, and if I don't the weird pressure and odd noises keep me alert...

    Hold your hand out the window (palm forward) if you're tired. Worked for me (along with a few redbulls) when I drove 23 hours straight.

    The road did have rumble strips... just not on the 40 yards that I crossed over onto the service lane

    happened to me once, then hit the rumble strip. Since then if i feel my blinks get just a little bit long i pull over to rest or get a coffee or something similar. Scary shit. Also, if a cop pulls you over NEVER use being really tired as an excuse, you can get yourself into even more trouble.

    I never remember the drive into work. Ever.

    I fell asleep once for about 10 miles on I81. Straight stretch, knocked out about 9pm coming home from Pa. I roughly know the distance because I remembered the last exit I passed had a chick fil a and I was pissed they were closed in Sundays.

    I flipped the fuck out and was wide awake the rest of my trip.

    Did this once in the fast lane on the highway. Every blink started to stay closed just a hair longer. Then I hit the rumble strip and was WIDE awake after that. Drove the next 12 miles home in complete alertness.

    Yea... Being 17, it was my first "accident"... on the other hand I'm still clean with no tickets :D
    Worst part is that of course the part that I doze off on was the 40 yards that didn't have those rumble strips that make noise
    you would think the most important place to have those is on a short bridge
