Are you one to push yourself to keep on until you get to your destination or will you pull over?

It happened to my friend when she was driving us somewhere. We flipped and I have a scar on my knee. But that's not why I am asking. My husband drives across the country and he will push himself until he exhausted. I don't like it.

Yes, I've fallen asleep at the wheel, but thank God, I managed to wake up before anything bad happened.
Sometimes I push through. Sometimes I scare myself awake. I've also been known to stop at a truckstop and bathe my face with ice. I sing, recite poetry, make political speeches, or just talk and holler to keep myself awake.
If it gets too bad, I'm not ashamed, or afraid to pull over and take a nap. It depends on circumstances and my physical and mental state.

I used to drive one and a half hours twice a week to visit family and friends and work and most of the time, I would be driving in the middle of the afternoon (about this time) and it was when I was the most tired. Anyway, one afternoon I was driving on the freeway and I could feel my eyes feeling very heavy and tired and I was fighting to stay away. I knew I should of pulled over the side of the road to have a cat nap, but I was anxious to get where I was going. Anyway, I felt my eyes close for just a couple of seconds and my car slightly vear off the road. I quickly opened my eyes though before anything happened, slowed down and then pulled over to the side the road and rested. I nearly had a heart attack though when it happened and from that day on, I make sure I'm alert when driving or I pull over somewhere and have a bit of a nap!

Yes, almost! It was bad. My boyfriend at the time and I had to pull over in a little town and sleep for about a half hour to make the last 15 miles home. If we hadn't done that we would never have made it. Scary feeling! I used to push through, but after that, not any more.

nope, never fallen asleep while driving; i know so, cuz if i did fall asleep while driving, i probably would not wake up to answer ur question.
If i as really sleepy while driving, i would turn on the radio and sing along.
I usually get enough sleep so i'm not sleepy while driving.

Yes, but only for milliseconds. It was alarming, but no problem ensued.
