I agree. Years ago I was rear-ended at full speed (at least 50 mph) by a driver who had fallen asleep. I was stopped at a red light, behind a motorcycle. My car was totaled. I had only minor injuries, but my car was smashed into the motorcycle, and the rider had multiple fractures. Had my car not been there, he would have been killed. 

The Wasilla police never breathalized the driver who hit me, and kept telling me on the scene how sorry she was, what a good person she was, and how it wasn't her fault because as a local EMT, she had been out all night on ambulance calls. Only when another driver came up, to report that she had been driving erratically for miles, did they reluctantly take out their notebooks to record the facts. I gave my insurance information and asked the police to give it to the other driver, saying that I was too angry at her to speak to her directly. They told me to watch my "attitude". The crash was never mentioned in the paper, although traffic was diverted for
