You only listed impairments with no excuse that are socially unacceptable but done all the time by everyone and statistically usually ends well almost every time anyway. There's another class of impairment that make no interesting clickbait and no social signalling... Kid sick in the back seat or just naughty, unexpected construction reroute, dark, bad weather, digestive impairment or other sudden onset illness setting in, the purpose of the trip might be highly distracting (funeral, sick relative in hospital), crazy unanticipated traffic jams, maybe the car is mechanically starting to act up.
Those stories make terrible clickbait unless there's a GPS involved, then the GPS can take 100% of the blame as if there was nothing else involved, and it makes itself insta-clickbait.
