    Luckily it was so early that the roads were probably pretty empty, and no one got hurt.

    He sure did make it easy for investigators "I felt asleep and woke up just before I hit..." I would have lied my ssa off. Thats just about as bad as that drunk that called the police on himself

    Kudos to the kid for admitting his fault. Rather than making excuses he accepted responsibility for his error. If he keeps his license, he'll likely turn out a better than average driver.
