Couldn ' t agree more . People fail to realize that every car is sudden misjudgement away from being a two ton death trap . If you ' re going to choose to impair your judgement let alone CONTINUALLY over the course of several hours while other people voice concern then you shouldn ' t be behind the wheel in the first place . I was in the same situation as her , but about 2 hours in to the 25 hour drive I came down with the flu so I was incapable of even getting out and walking which I would have done . I PLEADED for hours for my friend to stop at a motel and even offered to pay for everyone . They got all moody and defensive and just kept driving and even nodded off a few times . Thankfully the roads were empty and no accident happened . That was my best friend at the time and I haven ' t spoken to them since that drive 3 years ago .
