Default Re: Trip Report - DUI

By-Tor, would you be OK with it if I drove for 4 continuous days?

The problem is many, many people at any particular time are not driving as well as they could be. Being tired, having just had an argument with the wife, dealing with losing a friend or loved one, eating, or driving with crappy brakes are all legal. People who don't drive well most of the time include teenagers, the elderly, people with moderate vision problems, people with narcolepsy, etc. All of these people will not drive well compared to a middle-aged well rested control subject. Hell, even having a cold is life threatening if you have to sneeze. Where do you draw the line? Millions of people are impaired in some way.
