Not much pondering to do. You are making a case against impaired driving. Maybe if Mr. Laurie had been drinking, he could have just passed out behind the wheel. And as far as I know, at least over here, it is illegal to drive while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. And that wouldn't change if pot were legalized. Impaired driving and distracted driving (cell phones, munching on a Big Mac combo, etc.) are dumb, and illegal ... but I doubt you will see a move towards banning cell phones or making it illegal to pick up at a drive thru at Rotten Ronnies.
