    I was just thinking I need to drive to Key West on my Spyder before the glaciers and ice caps melt and Florida is completely submerged and NOW I gotta worry about this?

    Hi Easy,

    Re ( again ): drivers passed out behind the wheel.

    'Symptoms include periods of excessive daytime sleepiness that usually last from seconds to minutes and may occur at any time.'

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcolepsy

    I've suffered from it my entire adult life. And, I have fallen asleep at the wheel a number of times.

    In Florida? Will they have the blinker on all the time and drive 10 mph under the speed limit to fit in?

    Of course they will......... it is the law here. It is in the driver's Handbook........ next page after "Turning left across 2 lanes of traffic without using the blinkers".

    That comes under Bingo Night Rush Hour rules for "The Villages".

    Biggest hazzard in this part of FL is Tourist, who haven't a clue where they are going and anything can happen on any day, but especially on Fridays, when they come to the beach.

    Yeah, we do have a few round-a-bouts. Unfortunately, the suspension of safe driving rules only applies to little old, blue haired ladies in Caddies. Visitors from Oz still have to obey the traffic rules.

    Hi Easy,

    Re: So I will just wish you luck.

    I can use it; and have been mostly lucky so far. And it is something that I think about all the time when driving.

    Don't know, used to own one, but never been on any of the tourist air boat rides. Still got friends that own them. I ride with them sometimes.

    I was with the 834th Air Division at Ton Sun Nhut back in the early 70s. We had a RAAF C-7 Caribou Squadron assigned there too. I was on C-130s out of Ching Chuan Kang Air Base.

    Narcolepsy has an odd way of curing itself...
    It usually involves a solid impact with a bridge upright, or a tree!

    Hi Bob,

    Re: Narcolepsy has an odd way of curing itself... It usually involves a solid impact with a bridge upright, or a tree!

    Back in '68, I did hit a bridge; didn't cure it.

    Any other suggestions that might work?

    I would say that you need a bit more "terminal" velocity...

    But I really, truly wouldn't want that to happen to you!

    OK, this has gone far enough.
    How exactly is it that a person with narcolepsy is still driving or riding a motorcycle ?
    Forget the danger to you, how about the danger to the others on the road AROUND you ?

    This is really just a troll, right ??

    Hi Easy,

    Re: how about the danger to the others on the road AROUND you ?

    A few years ago, here in Oregon, a guy fell asleep & the wheel and killed two people. He was not charged as falling asleep at the wheel is not illegal in Oregon.

    Re: This is really just a troll, right ??

    Nope, could not be more truthful.

    I deal with it by drinking a LOT of caffeine ( Coke, coffee, etc ) whenever I feel it coming on.

    Jerry,
    I do have a question:
    While falling asleep at the wheel isn't illegal: how does Oregon feel about folks who drive while knowing that they suffer from a condition which does endanger the public?

    And that it was never disclosed on an application for a license; or it's renewal?

    (Okay: TWO questions...)
