Sounds like a lucky (fortunate) escape from a potentially serious accident - glad you’re okay :) Can’t believe that the Skoda is 8 years old already though!!
Be interesting to see whether the driver safety aids that MB have had for a while would have prevented this...it’d certainly have identified you falling asleep, but I wonder whether the alert is sufficient to actually wake you?
I swapped the BMW for an MB last week, which comes with a whole raft of driver assistance aids, one of which actively keeps you in lane by controlling the steering, and one which will actually try and avert a collision by braking the wheels on the other side of the car... though, I wonder whether a gentle sideswipe with the Armco is preferable to just running into the back of someone ;)
