Sleepwalk-driving, [1] or more commonly known as sleep-driving, [2] is a rare phenomenon where the person drives a motor vehicle while they are sleepwalking. If stopped by police, sleepwalk-drivers are totally incapable of having any interaction with the police, if they are still sleepwalking during the event.

There has been a case, where a person driving a car, ended up in fatal accident, running over another person, but claimed that he was sleepwalk-driving while the scenario took place. [5]
