I fell asleep three times, as luck had it I didn’t crash, after the third time, I stopped driving, it was totally my decision, the thought of crashing into some one else, and killing the person I crashed into, and me having no injuries was enough, I stopped driving three years ago, I have no regrets, I sent me license back to the DVLA,
I know it’s giving a pars of your freedom, but be strong before it’s to late!
