Many people would agree with me in saying that if a person eats too much before getting behind the wheel of a car, he or she would be a danger on the road as that person could fall asleep after a big meal. When I go home this evening, I will not eat before getting behind the wheel because I know what it will do. There could have been many other overriding causes for accidents as well as the consumption of a small amount of alcohol.
