If the crux of the matter is impaired judgement and reflexes, then THAT should be the criteria upon which people are judged competant or incompetant with respect to operating heavy machinery (including cars, boats, motorcycles, jackhammers, chainsaws, nuclear power plants, etc.)

The state should determine a safe "reaction speed" score. If you cannot pass the test (whether its from drinking, drugging, cold medicine, lack of sleep, listening to "easy listening" radio, or uncoordiation) you should be taken off the road.

As anyone in insurance knows, using the correct exposure base makes a difference on getting the expected results.
