I have just been informed that a very nice lady who works at a science class offered to homeschooled kids like ours is holding vigil at a hospital where her daughter lies in critical condition after a head on car crash.My business partner had a similar crash, with less serious injuries, a few months ago.Both times the other driver mysteriously drifted across the centre line.Are doctors still baffled with respect to the cause of these lapses in consciousness?

@Andre We've been seeing this in pilots. And drivers, of course. I've noticed how frequently reported traffic fatalities are single car incidents. Car left the road and collided with an object, often a tree. Cause unknown or undetermined or "possible mechanical failure."

@Andre Think it's a lot of things. Vax being one. Weed, texting, and aging population being the rest.

@Andre I've been guilty of having micro-sleeps on many occasions. As I get older, I need to be more mindful to look after those in my car.I always convince myself I'll just wait till the next rest stop along the highway. Sometimes that could literally be 10 seconds too far.At that state, my impaired judgement affects everything, including when to stop. This is not a "medical episode", just poor planning and decision making.Hope the lady's daughter pulls through, whatever the cause.

@nchia You sound like me. Years ago I was coming home from a trip, late at night, sleepy. Stopped at a gas station about 30 miles from home, ran around the car several times to wake up. I got back in the car, the next thing I knew I was pulling into the driveway. I had driven 30 miles without being aware. Since then I will stop at a hotel if I am tired, even if I'm only 30 miles from home. It's not worth hurting someone.@Andre

@fuzziAll it takes is 10 to 15 minutes with a bit of shut eye, engine stopped.I remember convincing myself I could shut one eye, then the other till I got home, and that was maybe thirty years ago!Not detracting from what @Andre may be implying about other causes.

@Andre I spent years getting 4-5 hours of sleep every night while putting in 12 hour days.Would get to work at 7:00am and not remember the drive. Same with the drive home.By the grace of God...no accidents.Scary.

@nchia @fuzzi @Andre Omgsh! I hate when I used to try the “one eye solution”! 😅In my full time college days, working 3-4 jobs full time too… I distinctly remember driving from my office job to my UPS job.I suddenly “woke up” and had exited the wrong freeway exit. Totally spaced out, no memory of exiting. I was 19 and exhausted. Nobody hurt. Now it’s age. Just need to intentionally concentrate. And yes, turning down the radio helps me see better. 😂

@HeyLiberty @nchia @fuzzi @AndreThere's study showing driving sleepy is worse impairment then being drunk.When my kids were young, we had a Sea World pass one year. It was about 45 minutes away. Driving back they were out like a light. And I was getting v e r y sleepy about half way home. I had to pull over. Must've been 10 minutes later, a Highway Patrol tapped on my window.... (And I was sleeping so well too!) Was checking to see if everything was okay.The adrenaline helped get me home!

@Lori @HeyLiberty @fuzzi @Andre It's been drummed into us and rightly so.As lot of tech like lane keep assist, rumbling noises when you switch lanes, divided roads really help. But they also embolden you not to rest up.I usually have issues driving interstate, but it literally takes only a few seconds and a short trip around the block can also be devastating. Those accidents tend to be drunkenness or drugs usually.https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/stayingsafe/fatigue/scienceofsleep.html
