Ive experienced exactly the same symptoms in my right leg when very tired after driving a tension-filled trip of over 8 hours. I hate it when that happens. Cruise control is a must, but the quandry is heavy traffic doing 90 miles an hour doesn't always allow for that luxury. Result for me is to find a friendly rest stop and regain control or stop for the night. John Bjork Charles M.
