Today, my family and I were on a road trip. Everything was fine until we discovered that my dad, the driver, was not only fast asleep, he was also snoring. We were in the middle of the highway. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my uncle was driving my mom and me to his house. We caught him nodding off numerous times, and I'm pretty sure he actually fell asleep at least once. We were on the highway. The car suddenly started swerving several times whenever he was getting sleepy. I think I have some grey hairs now. FML
Today, I fell asleep in a taxi. So did the taxi driver. FML
Today, after a long work shift, I was so tired that I took a nap in my car to avoid driving half-asleep. When I awoke, there was a huge truck in front of me. I thought I'd fallen asleep while driving and was about to die. I only realized it was stationary after I pissed myself. FML
Today, I was on a plane flying home and fell asleep. I woke up to my own snoring and everyone on the plane looking at me. FML
Today, I was watching a movie with my boyfriend and his parents, who I haven't known very long. I ended up falling asleep. That doesn't sound so bad, until I woke my drooling self up by snoring extremely loud. FML
Today, I discovered I have narcolepsy. During a driving test. FML
Today, I was really, REALLY tired at work. I went to the restroom to take a little break, and must have dozed off, because I was awoken by my boss, knocking on the door of the stall. Apparently, I had been snoring. FML
Today, I was in a bus headed to another city and fell asleep as did everyone else. I must've woken up last, because I half-snorted as I woke up and everybody heard. Now we’re on a coffee break and I can see them all snicker about it outside. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the bus after a long day. I woke up to the driver nudging me, saying, "End of the line, mate." I had no idea where I was, and it was raining. FML
Today, I farted myself awake, in a car full of my boyfriend's family. FML

I don't believe this at all.

I hope you were stopping to take breaks, if you were and he still fell asleep perhaps someone else should drive, he should sleep for a day or he might have a medical condition. My dad has fallen asleep at the wheel a few times, luckily with someone in the car with him to wake him up. He always drives with cruise control on and has an automatic, so he doesn't have to do anything but steer. I've felt tired and have had to manage it by playing loud upbeat music in the car, doesn't make other people too happy but there's no crashes or sleeping!

My friend who didn't trust anyone with his car because he got it brand new (factory order), was more than happy to drive us on a day trip. However, as we made our way back at 5PM after a day of driving and about a hundred kilometres left, he started yawning and leaning further back in his seat and constantly widening his eyes to shake off sleepiness. Everyone else had fallen asleep except me, so I took it upon myself to just keep talking and talking until we got home. It kept him awake but I don't think I have talked so much in my life since then.

Omg! I hope no accident(s) happened! Make sure that next time the driver has rested enough, switch driving every now and then & make stops on the way there. Being tired whilst driving is very dangerous and not to be taken lightly!

An epic disaster waiting to happen.

The only thing I can think of is OP's dad has narcolepsy maybe? This definitely needs a follow up.

He was multitasking!

If he had not been awake unusually long period of time then he probably is suffering from sleep apnea. Is he overweight, snoring at nights and/or has short periods of not breathing during sleep? If yes, he should see the doctor asap and not drive a car until he gets a diagnose and treatment. Otherwise it can happen again with different results.
