Falling asleep isn't reckless?


Reckless, to me, sounds like intentional unsafe driving. He didn't intentionally make the decision to close his eyes while doing 70 mph.

And yes, I'm arguing just for the sake of argument.

Falling asleep has to be against some law, and reckless fits the best. I feel terrible for the kid, I just think if you don't at least charge him with something, even if it gets thrown out, that you're setting a bad precedent

No one does. But also most reasonable people realize when they're getting too tired to stay awake. If you're driving and you're struggling to keep your eyes open, pull over, turn on your hazards and sleep. That's simple shite you learn in driving school. Between him falling asleep and no one being buckled this tragedy was very avoidable with some common sense.
