Larry, when I was a kid, I got pulled over a few times while pretty drunk, the police followed me home and told me to watch my arse, or I'd get arrested. DUI laws have been on the books for a long time, but enforcement was lax.
Fast forward a few years and MADD shows up. The news starts reporting when an accident is caused by a drunk driver, soon laws are enacted making DUI an automatic arrest with large fines and jail time. Here, a DUI wreck resulting in fatality is 20 years in the joint.
Maybe once some organization starts pushing for reporting of when an accident is caused by an inattentive driver a.e., cell phone, laptop, breakfast, makeup, etc. or someone who shouldn't be driving because of some physical impairment that makes it impossible for them to safely operate a motor vehicle, the pressure for laws and enforcement and punishment may follow.
