Default CALLING ALL DRIVERS

Are you getting enough sleep? Studies show a sleepy driver is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous than a drunk driver!

A lot of people might dismiss this but it is for real.

I can *yawn* drive just *yawn* fine when I ammmmm tireaslkdjf;mashd,f ( <--head hitting keyboard)

It can be really hard on long drives when going alone to stay awake. What I do sometimes is bring along a portable DVD player and hook it up to my FM Modulator. Then, I play the DVD's with the screen closed so that I can hear the movie. It keeps my mind active playing the movie in my head which in turn, keeps me awake.

I have done that many times driving 20 hrs or so up and down the east coast. It helps a lot to listen to a movie, it gives the illusion that there is someone with you talking to you in the car....
