Good God ! I thought drinking and driving was bad enough, but sleeping and driving, That's going too far.
Dont dare compare my sleep pattern to drink driving . You know nothing about me my lifestile and how much sleep I need or don't need .
Everyone needs different amounts of sleep . Do u think for 1 min I'd drive a 44ton truck and endanger other road users if I was tired . And the fact I've been doing this particular shift for 9 years ( not 15 as another post stated ) I have known well b4 now if my body needed more sleep .
Just to let u know more about my shift so u don't jump to any more asumptions that I'm driving up the road with my eyes shutting weaving about the road like a drunk driver , I do work a 15 hr shift but only actually drive for 6 hrs I get at least 5 hours sleep per night and the rest of the time I'm relaxing ( not driving , not loading ) so prob getting as much sleep as any other driver .
I only mentioned my hours of work / sleep etc to highlight my eatin habbits
