How can someone be so blind?

All the conditions you listed, save one, are UNCONTROLLABLE AND WITH SOMEONE 24/7. Those conditions could, at any time, without any DECISION by the affected person, make operating a car dangerous.

ONE of these conditions is totally USER-DEPENDANT and is CONTROLLABLE and relies ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ON AN ACTION TAKEN BY THE PERSON. A person who is an alcoholic can also operate a car safely 100% of the time, if they so choose. NO ONE ELSE WITH ANY OTHER CONDITION ON THAT LIST CAN SAY THAT.


Seriously, am I the only one who sees how different choosing to get drunk is over being afflicted with diabeties?
