Before people are exposed to criminal sanctions, they deserve fair information about what conduct is permissible and what is not. There is no measurable scale for drowsiness. Will the police be able to stop people who seem too tired? There is no test for drowsiness. How will the arresting officer present evidence that the driver was guilty of drowsy driving? How can such a law be enforced? What evidence is there that negligence has been committed?........driving while drowsy should be a criminal offence. How likely are drivers to admit that they are tired once they are aware of the risk of being prosecuted? (Counterpoint to point 2) driving while drowsy should be a criminal offense Drivers don't fall asleep without warning. If a driver knowingly decides to drive without the ability to remain alert, they put themselves and others at risk in the same way that those who text and drive or drink and drive do, with equally devastating consequences. Therefore, it should be treated equally
