I don't bother cos I don't get how people can sleep behind the wheel, no matter how tired. I've never come close. Not a bad idea for those who are susceptible though.
Nothing inherently wrong with that provided the road is empty.The problem drivers are those that neither know nor care that there are other vehicles behind them going faster and needing to get past.
Now I would have thought lane blocking was an open and shut case of driving without due care,the rational being these people are unaware of the problems they cause.Undertaking should fall into the realms of dangerous driving if,and only if,it actually amounts to that in the specific circumstances.

Thats silly old me thinking the law and its enforcement had anything to do with the real world.
