Many, many people drive when tired. I wuold imagine half the people commuting in a morning do so with a stifled yawn.

I'm at the point where I am not comfortable with Jim driving for this reason. I've watched him fall asleep at the wheel when he obviously feels like he has things under control. The "methods" that he uses to keep himself awake (opening the window, slapping his leg, pulling out chest hair) clearly don't work, so I have little trust that other people's methods work for them.
Driving while tired and driving while falling asleep aren't the same thing. Don't drive while falling alseep - it's fucking rude.
