The article just says that he was awake from around 04:30, driving by 07:00 and that the accident happened in the afternnon rush hour...maybe it was dinnertime ish or teatime ish. Seems harsh to me due to that fact that he had no intent to fall asleep and was unaware that he had a condition whereby he will become drowsy.

Having said that it is easy to be liberal with my forgiveness, it wasn't my family that was wiped out.

Seems there is many an instance where people lose their life on our roads due to the negligence of complete idiots, drink/drug abusers, un-qualified drivers and so forth. Through some technicalities or other they just get driving bans or fined ( give a driving ban to a person who is not qualified to drive...how the hell is that a punishment )

I just thought it harsh
