Head Out on the Highway
Can it possibly be that the 1993 movie titled THE PROGRAM is still exerting its malign influence, causing dumb-ass teens to lie down on the center stripe of highways, as described in this fifteen-year-old article from The New York Times?
What makes me think so? An identical fresh incident from my own home state, as recounted in this article.

Down here in North Carolina, this kind of thing is common in the summer...we call 'em human possums. Inebriated person staggering down the road late on a hot humid night, road is a little cooler, looks like an inviting place to take a little nap...

Expat47--I'd rather tackle a grizzly with a knife than lie down in traffic.
