What do you all do about people who drive tired?
This thought came to me last night (this morning?) as I took over driving home when Hubby was too tired to drive and I was barely holding it between the lines. We got home around 1:30am, carried the children up to bed, ignored the goats, crawled into bed, and crashed.
Driving tired is dangerous. I am in no way saying it is not, but what happens when someone is pulled over and come to find out they are not intoxicated, but just plain tired and there is no safe place to pull over to sleep for half an hour or so?
Are they taken into custody for dangerous driving? Are they led to a place where they can safely get a bit of sleep? Are they given a ticket and sent on their way?
