mrfill Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 No mention of whether they were tested for drink/drugs. No, it must be microsleep and thank you for the generous donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Just a BS excuse to cover up poor driving behaviors - really laughable to avoid driver accountable at all costs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in fact, many accidents here are microsleep aside of alcohol. Anyone who used minivans, taxi's often enough, could testify to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 It's the same when they find a body in a room that has not been disturbed , it's always naturel causes , before any investigation is done , so there could be a very tidy serial killer out there . Micro sleep , no need to investigate further....... regards Worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
