I think that I fell asleep before my car accident?

Question

Because I can't remember a couple of minutes before the accident. And the things I do remember weren't necessarily there. Like I saw that the light was green, saw a white car behind me. And I also saw three cars crossing the intersection. Then I cross the intersection and BOOM T-boned someone. And the police report came back and it said that I failed to stop at a stoplight when I am absolutely positive that the light was green! I'm beginning to think that I imagined the whole thing. And the police report said there weren't any cars near me.

I don't do drugs or do alcohol btw

Answer 1

wondering if you were dreaming this totally!

Answer 2

You might not have fell asleep as you could of banged your head  in the incident so could cause memory loss

Answer 3

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that approximately 100,000 police-reported crashes annually involve drowsiness and/or fatigue as a principal causal factor. Those crashes result in an estimated 1,500 fatalities and 71,000 injuries each year, and an annual monetary loss of approximately $12.5 billion.

Referred to as "the silent killer" because it is so often overlooked as the cause of an accident, drowsy driving's full effect is not yet known because reporting is imprecise, police are not trained to detect sleep-related crashes and there is no Breathalyzer-like test to determine whether someone was driving while dangerously drowsy.

The most popular tactics that people have used when they have become sleepy while they were driving were:

Stop driving or switching drivers (59.5 percent)

Open the windows or turn on the air conditioning (59.0 percent)

Listen to the radio or CDs (57.7 percent)

Stop to eat or drink (46.3 percent)

Drink caffeine (42.3 percent)

Other methods the respondents claimed to have used to stay awake at the wheel include talking or singing to themselves (31.7 percent), splashing water in their faces (18.4 percent) and slapping, hitting, or pinching themselves (a self-abusive 16.1 percent).

Answer 4

well, were you very sleepy when you were driving.  idk. you're also missing facts.  you thought you t-boned someone but there were no cars around (the police says).  did you get the ticket cause you ran a red light?  and if you did t-bone someone was there damage to your car? if you did t-bone someone how could the cops say there weren't any cars around.  this is confusing.
