Possible Blackout Whilst Driving
35 Answers
Last night whilst at work around 8.45 I was driving with a colleague in the car, fortunately on a quiet country road, I suddenly hit a kerb quite hard, it frightened me and my colleague.
I wasn't tired or sleepy and was wide awake no alcohol at all.
I have the feeling that I may have blacked out but not sure, I remember nothing of seeing the kerb or drifting towards it. my only memory of it was a bang and swerving across the road as I bounced off of it.
It could have been just a lack of concentration but I really don't think so. I have done such a thing whilst not concentrating, this was different. I had no idea what had happened until my colleague told me what I hit and said, "didn't you see that!"
I must say I am a little worried?

Tilly, same here. Eyesight does deteriorate. I've had cataracts removed but I'm still not the eagle-eyed youth I was.
Ratter, you can get something like white line fever, where you watch the road ahead but lose concentration on the peripherals. Doesn't happen so much on busy roads, where other traffic movement keeps you alert to where you are in relation to the middle of the road, but I can imagine it being more likely on a quiet, dark road at night.

Jahulaye, "I would seriously put off driving and not be so blasé about it as the kerb could have been a wall or a group of people."
Who the hell has been blase!!?
I have been to the GP, I spent the whole morning there having tests, discussing options about driving, going through all the legalities of driving after such an incident with the GP, and my GP could see no reason to stop driving and that was also in accordance with the guidelines for driving after such an incident!
Bloody stupid comment!!
