Unfortunately, enough can't do one or both of these that we need legislation. Speeding legislation is old -but is still hotly contested.

but driving drunk, stoned or sleepy -you have to be stupid to think any of those are OK -they're not a matter of multitasking -they're a matter of fail-to-task-at-all. if you have to drive at 5am to get to work, then adjust your system so 4am is a good wake-up time. or get another job. or die. Bur don't do the latter as you kill my children because you "closed your eyes for a moment" and ran through the red light mmkay?

I strictly do not close my eyes for a moment (well besides natural blinking). I tell myself I can, I lie to myself to bargain with myself to keep 'em open. I never close my eyes for that moment! I have been in the car with my mom when she feel asleep, I know how easy it is to do, so I don't "rest" my eyes, ever, no matter how badly I want to.
I have been workin to get myself adjusted to an earlier time, but its not that easy, it takes time.
