I've hit the armco in the middle of a motorway after nodding off. woke to the sound of the door scraping on the barrier. Not the best way of waking up but very effective.

got a point there... gets very boring real fast on motorways...
Now there we have the edge on you, no such thing as a fast motorway in southern england, they're all very slow. If you ever want a good laugh take a look at this website at 8:00 on a monday morning.

remember the Red Lion G2G ... had to get through 40 or 50km of traffic jams around London, filtering in the pooring rain
after an hour or two i was filtering at 50-60kmh with edith riding pillion and with full luggage...
totally fed up! no longer giving a fek!
edith was NOT impressed
I'm an insomniac agnostic dyslexic. I lay awake at night and wonder if there really is a dog.

It's worse falling asleep on the bike, nearly broke a toe once that way. Bike on throttle lock, me nodding off behind the bars, the bike drifted across the lane, foot slipped off the peg and hit a road reflector at about 120kmh, it HURT but it woke me up. Happens too often to me(nodding off)

You should get your dog to sit facing you and train the dog to bite your gonads if you fall asleep, that should help keep you awake
