I have seen a drunk driver do exactly that.
Someone who falls asleep might also do that.
[edit] Come to think of it, I have almost caused an accident a decade ago. I was momentarily distracted as I turned to talk to my passenger. I was able to brake in time, as a car in front of me had suddenly stopped. Nevertheless, it was only a matter of maybe one second to avoid running into the other car. Me-a-decade ago might been in a similar accident.

- losteric 9y agoI know one person that drove into a light post in the middle of an empty parking lot. Daylight, sober, not texting, not tired, not stunting - they were looking at the exit and simply didn't see the one light post between their car and the exit. "That light came out of nowhere!" Human car accidents are not news because roughly 100 Americans die in car accidents every day, out of ~15300 car accidents per day.
