I drive under the influence all the time. Sometimes I drive under the influence of love, sometimes sadness, boredom, confusion…I think you get the idea. Maybe the worst is driving under the influence of Persian, (ie arguing with baba about the best way to get home).

The law has said somethings are illegal like driving while drunk, high, talking, or texting,  but studies have shown that a tired driver can be just or even more dangerous than a drunk one. The point is, we are all always driving under the influence. Somethings may be more dangerous than others, but they all inhibit our driving in some way. In 2008, almost 20 percent of all crashes in the year involved some type of distraction. (Distraction.Gov).
