ShowermanSamuel Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Played out in Bristol last night, fell asleep at the wheel on the M4 on the way back. Hit central reservation and flew across all three lanes to the hard shoulder.LONG but all man survived with no scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wu-Tang Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Be happy that you hit the central reservation and not some poor kid in an oncoming carGood to hear you are o.k. but they say dont fall asleep at the wheel for a reasonProbably doesnt seem like it to you but take something positivie away from this in that it could have been so so much worse.
