DWI seems to be the go-to talking point on the fear mongering side. If somebody's driving is impaired (for whatever reason), then they can be cited for that infraction (the actual driving failure). If they want to "test" the suspect, have them take a test for response times and accuracy.
Sleep deprivation can be as debilitating as drunk driving, yet you don't hear people wailing about letting those with untreated sleep apnea on the roads. And how about those cell phones, eh?
Exactly. We already have laws against reckless and careless driving. "There should be a law" is counterproductive--the problem is dangerous driving and it's already illegal.
