A reason why you should not be driving if you're tired!

The day we got back from the states, my brother and sister in law put on a BBQ for us, they live about 20 minutes away from where we live, on the way to their place, traffic was so heavy that at one stage we sat on one spot for about 20 minutes (not moving and i'm not kdding) we have to turn our engine off -- yeah really bad (there was an accident and because of the road works it made it even worse), so when we got to their place we were starving..way pass my dinner time, and being pregnant didnt help too, hunger made me feel even sicker:(. We had fun that night although we're very tired and jet lag, so after catching up we decided to go home, Chad was driving fine, until we're about 3-4 minutes away to our house when he said he's really tired, well his tiredness also affected his judgement because when he saw the lights turned amber, he sped through it before it turns red, but then he realized that he wasnt gonna make it, so he slammed his brake.... and then decided to go through the red light anyway (crazy driver!!-:) and then it was too late when he noticed the cop car close by, suddenly he's awake!, and then he said "Oh crap i'm gonna get a fine", well he kept driving but he's convinced he's going to be pulled over, the cop car followed us for about 1 kilometre then he flashed his lighst and sure enough he pulled us over "way to go Chad"!!
Cop: I pulled you over for a random breath test mate!
Chad: oh okay no worries mate:), - I thought the cop's first question should have been: Cop: "I pulled you over because you went through the red lights" (but he didnt)..So he asked Chad to do the test and the reading came up - then of course the reading came back zero because there's no trace of alcohol..good thing we dont drink..:) so the cop probably thought that the alcohol meter was faulty so he asked Chad to give it another try so he did, and the result was the same, this time he's convinced that Chad wasnt drunk ha ha!! If i was the cop, i would have probably thought that he was drunk too ha ha!, seeing how he went through the red light, I'm just glad that he wasnt pulled over for that matter:) Phewww!! So yeah the lesson here is that: DONT DRIVE IF YOU'RE TIRED:)
