Pie in the sky. Private cars are used for general-purpose transport at
widely varied times. We are not airliner pilots. (Well, I'm not,

You might as well say that a good driver would not compromise safety
by driving after a hard day at work, or when his tyres were anything
but brand new, or when the conditions might be foggy or icy.

There have to be acceptable limits. 

There are, as you & I know, and I think they're reasonable ones.
Can't see what the fuss is about.
