>> fell asleep at the wheel
Why oh why do people think that driving for too many hours is a good thing, a worthwhile risk or even a macho thing?
I fell asleep at the wheel when I was much, much younger. Very scary. Not something I have ever risked happening again.
Yet I hear some people bragging about how long they've driven in much the same way that some brag about how much they can drink. I don't understand either.
Sometimes I drive to the south of Chile, about 1,500 miles to where I go. That takes two tiring days with multiple stops, breaks and rests. Quite a lot try to drive as far as they can in one go. The death rate is appalling.
On another subject:
>>I was watching an old episode of Top Gear
One of my daughters is a serious fan of the Clarkson trio and asked me last night when the three of them really got into their stride?
I don't know. It certainly wouldn't have been their early episodes but I don't really know when it would be?
Any suggestions?
