(Update: changed wording & inserted the missing “always”, I just wanted to warn people of other situations, not rule out it can happen like this - there just might be no warning at all when falling asleep while driving )
Falling asleep while driving doesn’t always work like that. Your brain can also just shut off.
Many years ago I was going the Autobahn from Munich to Nuremberg - going with 150 km/h, 95 mph or so.
I was driving in the middle lane of 3, it was Friday early evening (around 6) and still daylight.
As said I was on the middle lane, low traffic (fortunately!) and suddenly I was on the left lane.
I was just out for a few seconds, enough time for the car to wander over to the left lane.
That probably was my closest situation to dying in traffic.
(I switched my schedule to not drive 2 hours after work THAT DAY)
Idk, I’ve definitely been falling asleep and thought “aren’t I driving, why are my eyes closed?” And then quickly open them.
Thanks for mentioning that - I updated my wording, as I didn’t want to say “it can’t happen like this”, I just did want to say “There might be no warning at all”.
