Kinda creepy but as someone who crashed and almost killed themselves when driving too tired... Uhm yeah maybe it helps? Edit: I never even said I was in favor of this legislation. No need for the dogpile I'm reminded of the article "Fatal Distraction" about children being left in a hot car. It's a thing nobody thinks can happen to them because they're a good parent. Well guess what, this happens to good parents too. It's a fantastic article, go look out up. Thinking those parents are selfish assholes and should be punished, is a defense mechanism of "this could never happen to me". I think driving tired was the same for me. I would never drive tired if given a conscious choice, but the nature of it is that you're not thinking straight and you don't realize. It's not like I made it a habit to drive while tired, it's a thing that happened once because I didn't pay attention to it. You don't have to be that tired, it was 11pm. The consequences can be extreme. I'm overall a super careful driver, will never speed, drink, text or generally take risks while driving. But everyone gets tired https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/fatal-distraction-forgetting-a-child-in-thebackseat-of-a-car-is-a-horrifying-mistake-is-it-a-crime/2014/06/16/8ae0fe3a-f580-11e3-a3a5-42be35962a52_story.html
