Stupid State Laws - Tennessee 2

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Tennessee

"Driving is not to be done while asleep."

Chock this one up to common sense, Tennessee.  In what world would driving while asleep be a good thing?  The only place that I can think of that you could get away with it is if you are the airplane pilot of a super long flight, but even then, I'm sure that the passengers would be pretty pissed if they found out.  But seriously, what could have possibly have happened in order to make this a law?  Did someone get arrested because they passed out while driving but then went to court and said "Well, judge, there is no law against it" and they judge had to look it up and found out that the idiot was correct and was forced to make driving while asleep illegal.  I really think lawmakers should make a "Book of Common Sense Stuff That Shouldn't Be Made Into A Law Because You're An Idiot If You Think Otherwise" and this law should be on the first page along with no jerking off in public and no texting while driving.  Somebody make this book now!

"If you are going to sleep while you drive, at least fall asleep with your eyes on the road that way the cops will think you are awake.  Didn't we all learn that in high school while sleeping in class?"
