Dont drive while tired.We teach our kids about drunk driving. Why not teach them about tired driving? I fell asleep. Then woke up. Kept driving. I figured that I was only 15 min away from home. I could make it. WRONG. I was never taught to pull over. I thought I could make it home. I also had the heat on and the windows up. I was never taught to not have the heat on while tired. I should have been taught to have the windows down and no heat on. I didnt know. I have learned my lesson from this. I was 18 at the time. I am now 27.
Thanks for sending a link to your video. I think it is wonderful that you want others to learn from your experience. Do you twitter? twitter@crashPrevention
Take care.... T

I completely agree that driving while being tired is not good at all, but you are also 18 and a newer driver... this happens alot during that age group, tired or not.

wow, your lucky you got off with a broken leg. i had a similar incedent a couple of years back and ended up hitting the kerb at the other side of the road. got off with just a busted wheel, but i know the feeling of dosing off while driving!
