How bad and how long does the bad Kharma last if you accidentally run over a sleeping burner in their tent?
...snark, snark, snark.... if you are already moody - perhaps sell your ticket now and stay home?

Ummm - no - in fact it seems each of the last number of years I attended, urban legend spread that one or more sleeping folks were indeed victims of impersonating speed bumps by wreckless and exhausted drivers not paying attention.
Last year I watched a late arrival after sunset back his entire rig into and thru a tent village and through another car, pulled forward after hearing the screams - and then did it again. Perhaps it was
not an issue to that driver....
Once I arrive at the city - I send walkers out in front and aside my rig - all of 26 feet and additional trailer to "guide me" as I make my way to our desired spot. Taking such action means there is little to no chance that I am driving above the posted speed limit of 5 MPH within the city, will not hit anything or more importantly - anyone - and it makes me happy for twenty minutes to be alone - everybody else out and walking - because this causes them without their knowledge - to become tired enough to sleep. Walking from outer ring and 6 o'clock to F and 2:30 is good excercise.
Of course there is ussually a few idiots behind me whom are in a rush to drive thirty miles per hour kicking up dust to claim a spot ahead of me and once actually was passed on a spoke-street. The driver was in such a rush to get around me AT BRC that he almost missed a ranger's camp spot. I have to think that the ranger waving his arms franticly, yelling and shining a bright light into the oncoming driver's eyes might have had something to do with preventing a catastrophy. It would really suck to arrive at BRC, get minamally settled, sleep for thirty minutes only to wake in a hospital suffering internal injuries from being run over.
