Some people can text and drive attentively just fine. Some people can drive at 90 in residential zones just fine.

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?
