Microsleep WHILE driving… Was I lucky?

Hello… a really dangerous situation happened to me today. Unfortunately, I slept very little today, I couldn't… but then I drove. But that was only because I felt very fit and alert. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, because just a short time later, I fell asleep for about three seconds at a speed of 90-120 km/h—more like 100-120 on a country road, and actually even went off the road slightly. Not quite, otherwise I'd probably be in the hospital by now, wouldn't I? But it was incredibly close. I just barely managed to save myself by steering sharply to the left to get back on the road. Unfortunately, I never knew how quickly something like that could happen (microsleep).

Could I have died there, or how likely, and was I lucky? I've really learned from it now. I'm still in a state of shock. I slept for an extra hour before the trip, which is probably why I feel fit and awake.

Hey, apart from what you would have put you and others in danger, this would be a §315c StGB. Because of this, you would be deprived of your driving licence for at least 6 months plus a proper fine.

Hey, keep an eye on this.

My cousin has Narkolepsie(second sleep(and went on the highway in a guide because he fell asleep.

Are brother and he had great luck.

After many investigations, he came out to have nakolepsie and accordingly gets medication and can drive again.

A friend of mine passed this on the highway and didn’t survive it and was just 23 years old. I remember that day.

It’s been a long time. Passage can always be something but you can handle dangers

So an important rule is that you should never drive car if you have slept very little, because if you just get off the road and silly hits anywhere, for example against a tree, with 90-120 km/h then that can end fatal. So I would say yes you had luck

Of course! Frontal before a tree. When catching, out of the tomb, oversteering and in the intercourse extinguishes without problems, at speed, even without problems, existences out and destroys families. If you happen to have a scooter or cyclist – had luck – drag your life around – next to the legal and economic/private consequences!

The smallest sign of fatigue is an alarm signal. As soon as the eye songs begin to “burn” etc. is uninteresting whether you still have 10 Km or 100 m – the second sleep is not interested in it. The body goes into the mode in a matter of seconds – no matter what you just mean to do.

This is really a big problem and especially for truck drivers because they often have to drive at night.

Then you have headlines like: Truck driver snaps into jam

Or video where a truck driver drives snake lines, he also has just seconds sleep.

Tell the father in his car you’re stealing and his wife and children are dead now.

Or the cyclist you missed on the roadside.

And why 120 on the road???????

You’ve got to guess if you’re suspicious. If you can’t, you don’t belong to the street.

As you describe it, you’re not suitable to lead a caracterially.

You should go to the MPU and drive.

Then it would be at least much more sung and less shocked to go on the streets… This “sometimes goes” doesn’t matter, but nothing is undone! Travelled cyclists not alive again. Don’t get out of the wheelchair. It doesn’t bring a family father back home to his family, does not bring any fiancé back to your friend. Motor vehicles are vehicles that can develop fatal potential at any time in seconds! What is the meaning of “tolerating” that one was “not like that at all”? No one! That’s just the solemn justification to talk the problem nicely. I don’t have to be on my phone. I don’t have any medicines or alcohol or drugs. No cigarettes. Are we accepting a drug-based guy playing with a gun? Hmmh. He can kill max. 6 people – a car controlled into the crowd is significantly “effective”…!

You were lucky again.

If it had gone into intercourse, you don’t even know why you’re dead yet.
