Did you… read the comment you’re replying to? Or just skip straight to writing the one-upper reply?

Staring at the road, especially at night, for that long doesn't help. I drove 16ish hours from Denver to Fargo with minimal breaks recently. Got to Jamestown, ND (not far from Fargo) and had to pull over because it was starting to get weird.

Do you mean besides intentionally because of the effects of drugs and/or alcohol?

(Before people come for me: I’m not saying alcohol causes hallucinations, more that it affects perception and makes it very difficult to figure out if you’re tired enough to hallucinate)

Driving requires constant mental engagement. I find driving for 8 hours to be more tiring than a day of work.
