Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / January 2007Do you speed when tired?
I tend to speed when tired, and the more tired I get, the more I speed. The reason is that I want to get to destination to rest ASAP. Also, fatigue reduces inhibitions, and that makes me less cautious. Does this happen to you too? > I tend to speed when tired, and the more tired I get, the more I speed. > The reason is that I want to get to destination to rest ASAP.

Why cant IL follow its neighbors (IN & MO) and increase the rural freeway SL to 70?! >> Driving the posted 55mph speed limit has made me sleepy from bordom.

Governor ordered a crackdown on speeders to help narrow a budget deficit some years back (his reasoning as reported) and will veto any attempt to raise speed limits. It's a way of raising taxes without raising taxes. "223rem" <223remi@gmail.com> said in rec.autos.driving: >> Driving the posted 55mph speed limit has made me sleepy from bordom.

The opposite happens to me because I can no longer maintain the required concentration to drive faster. Now, if I happen to drink too much diet cola while driving, I wholeheartedly agree with your reasoning ;) Ted Kennedy - President of DDDAMM (Drunk Driving Divers Against Mad Mothers) - 17 Jan 2007 02:38 GMT >Now, if I happen to drink too much diet >cola while driving, I wholeheartedly agree with your reasoning ;) Wait a minute; you mean I'm *NOT* supposed to drive with that 32oz mug full of caffeine?

By 'speed', do you mean that you drive dangerously fast, so that you risk losing control of your car on corners? Or is it that you are just tending to drive in the way you naturally would if there were no speed laws? > > I tend to speed when tired, and the more tired I get, the more I speed. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Or is it that you are just tending to drive in the way you naturally > would if there were no speed laws? Good question. The answer is probably both. I believe the mechanism is that fatigue dis-inhibits you, so you lose your fear of both cops and corners.

I speed whether I'm tired or not, because I always want to get to my destination ASAP. :) SignatureI hate speediots - especially Carl Troller.

Not that I have noticed.

You need some caffeine pills for that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_plus Graham > > I tend to speed when tired, and the more tired I get, the more I speed. > > The reason is that I want to get to destination to rest ASAP. Also, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > You need some caffeine pills for that. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_plus That's lame. My normal coffee drink is the 'black eye': a large coffee to which 2 shots of espresso are added. And it doesnt really help when you're very tired. Nor does it make you less eager to get home. > I tend to speed when tired, and the more tired I get, the more I speed. I tend to drive much slower when I'm tired because of an increased fear of hitting something or driving off of the road. Hi! > I tend to speed when tired, and the more tired I get, the more I speed. > The reason is that I want to get to destination to rest ASAP. Also, > fatigue reduces inhibitions, and that makes me less cautious. Does this > happen to you too? No, it's vice versa for me. The more tired I get, the more slowly I go. Yours, Erik.
