Asleep at the Wheel....

So i was driving along to Galveston to hit up the beaches cuz my little niece was in town and wanted to go, my girlfriend and i were in the car cruising down the freeway on our way to meet everyone and she was passed out asleep in the passenger seat. I was sleepy not really paying attention too much try to find a song worth listening to on the radio when BOOM i hit the guard rail going about 70ish.. it was sticking out like it had been hit before and i wasnt very tentative to the road so there was no avoiding it.. luckily my mad awesome driving skills quickly put me back in my lane no trouble and i exited and pulled into a gas station no one hurt.

Anyways car has a huge scrape along the entire driver side of the car from front to back and when i turn to the right if feels like jelly(not sure what that is) and i only have liability so not quite sure what to do.....

Lame, will post pics of the carnage in the morning

If you're feeling tired when driving, just force yourself to have the biggest smile, and itll keep you awake, works for me

I used to work for UPS and I fell asleep for a few seconds in the UPS truck one time while on the freeway! As I opened my eyes to a confusing WTF moment, traffic in front of me was stopped! I was going too fast (60 mph) to be able to stop in time. Luckily the lane next to me was an off ramp and there was no one in that lane. I had to whip the wheel so hard I almost rolled the truck. Lucky me and even luckier person/people in the car/cars that were stopped in front of me

I've had a few of those moments! Sorry to see the carnage, but good to hear that nobody was bent up as a result.
