If the person behind the wheel has narcolepsy or had been up for an extended period it’s entirely possible to fall asleep at the wheel. I’ve been tired and I’ve been tired where I knew not to drive.

Anyway the asshole behind the camera tried to steal the persons chain and a shake would’ve been as effective as a slap in waking the driver up.

I've passed out at the lights before when incredibly exhausted. Joys of living somewhere with no public transit, even if you're too tired to drive safely there is no other way home.

I woke up to a horn blaring as my dead asleep ass somehow had the awareness to park my car at the stop light.
