    This is the first time it's really public, as in everyone can see it not jut the people involved.
    And the first generation to be raised with that isn't exactly old enough to be hiring, in most cases.

    So until now people have been able to pretend they are above that sort of behavior and that when they where kids everyone went to school, studied hard, and was above average.

    Yeah, you try to create some laws to govern a speculative future.

    ANd you hit opn the gray area of these studies. IF they cite them, then these studies become useless. IF they don't then there is a risk* of an accident.

    I think the best solution is to just tell them 'Park you car and find a ride. If you leave here driving a vehicle I'll call the on duty police officer to find you.'

    So they don't get cited at that time, but you can still get the data.

    Of and being a contractor working for a federal agency does not make you a federal employee, and most federal employees don't cite drivers.

    *not as high as people think.
