    Their comments jump all over the place. Their partner hates it, they have a self-driving car etc. Completely rationalising driving tired and proud of it. Worst kind of driver.

      I’m willing to believe some people are vastly superior drivers to me, I’m also willing to believe I’m more cautious than ethics demands.

      Even so, suppose you are the greatest driver to ever exist. If after 4 hours on the road you’re at 70% of your skill, even if that skill is still really high, isn’t it worth a 10 minute break to get back to like 90%?

      It’s not like taking a break is terribly unpleasant. Unless the weather is dreadful just have a cup of tea from a thermos and a stretch then hop back on the road.

      My wife doesn’t hate it; just took a while to adjust to it. I don’t rationalize being tired and driving because I don’t do it. When I’ve been actually tired from driving I pull over at a rest stop and stretch or sleep. It’s ok though, I’m sure my 15 years of perfect driving (about 20k miles a year) without even being pulled over or ticketed means I’m a shitty driver. 👉(👁 ͜ʖ👁)👉
