Who does what to keep 'focused' on long journeys?

Im guessing he means whilst driving?......

Personally i like to push my luck trying to stay awake

I knew that!

Ill tell you what doesnt help, radio one after sort of midnight gets really trippy! i was driving back from glasgow once, left there at 7pm (after starting work at 5am!) to get back to reading, my intention was to stop in a hotel around manchester... but i got there...thought fcuk it, ill go all the way! got help up an man....by 2am i was pretty much tripping balls down the M40 an had to just pull in at Warwick services an literally went to sleep as soon as the engine went off!

usually for me it's a drink by my side (normally lucozade sport so I don't have to unscrew the cap), few sweets (normally softmints or chewing gum), and some music I can sing to or sometimes comedy on BBC radio 4 (i'm 19 by the way  )

Still waiting for someone to say "I give the misses tonsils a poke with my pen¡s" or something.

For me, I try and look for things to distract me from the motorway, like cool buildings and stuff.

I do usually find, as with Luke, people talking on the radio, especially if it's funny helps me stay awake longer than music.

once when i worked 24 hr strate and drove home at 10pm on the m25 it was head out window music up loud! i fell strate to sleep when i got in to bed 

when i went UD it was just one stop a red bull n drum and bass!

and when i came back from bournmouth after being on 24 hr call out all week, raving for 7 hours and driving 3 hrs home at 5 am a mcdonalds brekki at 6am sorted me out! 

Great shout on the drum and bass!!

I tend to find if you have a few little 30 second sleeps throughout driving that helps

Motorways: Vans on bridges and those friendly chaps in the cars with the extra lights.
Country Lanes and non-urban A roads: Badgers! Big F^&*ers them!

I hit a badger a few months a go, was already dead but still massive, even on its side! (Didn't see it until it was too late because of the mk2s spectacular head light system!
It was a cold night and I had the heaters on, not for long after I hit the badger! One of the most disgusting smells to have ever come through my heater vents  Dead flesh and fur
Had to go to a jet wash at about 1 in the morning!

I had to bury the number plate into the tarmac to stop for one once, the best stopped plodding, looked into my full beamed headlights, looked back to where he was going and plodded off, that badger owes me a pint for saving his life!
