It is legal if you're in good shape and therefore the risk of that happening is minimal. It is illegal to drive a car under an altered state that makes it more likely to happen. It is a balance between the benefits of permitting something and the likelihood of something bad happens. In normal conditions, the benefits are believed to outweigh the risks, so it is generally permitted to drive a car. But it is not permitted to drive it if you're under the effect of some substance that can alter your perception of reality.
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoOK, that's fair. So I agree that: > You can't do whatever you want with your body is pretty reasonable, but how about we rephrase it as something like: > You can't do something with your body that significantly increases the risk of harming others ?
- GTP 2y agoYes, I would agree with this principle, with the caveat that there could be always be corner cases that deserve a special treatment.
