Reply #39: I am pro-legalization and anti-impaired driving, too.

[Warren DeMontague]

Driving requires 110% concentration and focus; not just for yourself, but because of the jackass bad drivers in the OTHER cars. That applies to texting, phone calls, fixing your makeup, flossing your teeth, or anything except being fully alert and paying attention. Not to mention sleep deprivation.

Some day soon, the cars will drive themselves, and people will be able to relax and ride as fucked up as they want. A lot of folks won't like that, but I think it can't come soon enough. Back when I was still drinking and shelling out $$$ for cab fare, I would have been all over it.
