I have a list of weird/crazy things to do before I die.

No judging. You only live once.

It's ****ing stupid. So I laid in bed for five hours and then went to pick up my car even more tired than before.

It is bordering on immoral for the government to attempt to regulate your life in such a way that they would require that you sleep X number of hours a night just to be able to drive in the morning.

I wasn't even driving erratically or anything--I was going like two over the limit and the cop was bored so I got pulled over for a verbal warning. I don't even drive erratically when I'm three sheets to the wind.

Next, if you don't get eight hours you'll be fined. If you don't do thirty situps, you go to jail. If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.

None of their ****ing business how little I sleep.

People falling asleep at the wheel IS dangerous though. They only did this because they want to reduce the number of accidents on the roads, even if you can drive well when tired.

This is how they destroy all personal responsibility and choice and make us all drones of the government hive. They do it by oblique ways. Before too long, we'll be mandated to brush our teeth EXACTLY 72 strokes (or something like that) because they'll find a connection between bad breath and car accidents.

Truck drivers aren't allowed to drive more than a set number of hours a day because they need to use the rest to sleep so they don't fall asleep and ram 40 tons up someones ass.

Telling you to stop driving is in the interest of everyone driving around you. Maybe you can handle very little sleep but it isn't the cops job to put you through a physical to determine that. The legal alcohol limit is the same deal, not everyone is ****ed up at the limit, some people are hardly affected, should they be able to argue their case now too?

I almost fell asleep at the wheel of my uncles Benz once. I woke up at 6AM to go to school, caught a plane to BC after school (3 hour time difference), went to a wedding party and was driving everyone home at 3AM because my uncle was drunk. I was fine on normal roads but 5 minutes on a highway and I knew I was dozing off. If a cop pulled me over he would have had a very good reason to get my aunt to drive instead. Cops don't have the time to figure out how little sleep someone can handle, they just apply the same model to everyone.
