		<description>Sadly, there doesn&#039;t seem to be any public outcry for the loss of a few truckers, but there is for sleepy drivers who have accidents that cause fatalities. 

My whole point is that the media/public can&#039;t have their cake and eat it too. Drivers who can&#039;t idle, can&#039;t sleep well. If you don&#039;t sleep well, you&#039;re not as safe as you should be. It&#039;s as simple ad that. 

Now if a driver has been up for days on end or has more drugs in his system than Robert Downey Jr., then I say string him up so we can all throw darts at him. But if he hasn&#039;t slept well because he couldn&#039;t idle his truck the night before... well who&#039;s 
fault is that? I certainly don&#039;t know any drivers who would rather have frozen toes or 
sleep in a pool of their own sweat.

Sign me up to vote for your new law. The first night it goes into effect, my maniacal mad scientist-inspired laughter will be heard for miles around. Let&#039;s shoot for  February or August.</description>
