Recently, while driving I was overcome by a wave of fatigue, such that I felt unsafe to drive further. I pulled over into a vacant factory car park and had a solid nap.
I was wondering whether this is legal? I often see road signs stating "Microsleeps can kill" and "Powernap now". Obviously the authorities are encouraging people not to drive when fatigued.
I understand that some councils are banning sleeping in vehicles, but surely road safety takes priority.
If I was issued with a council fine, would a State law override this?
