Absolute statements are always risky for a human being to declare.
Never a cup o’ joe for the ride? An over the counter cold tablet? Too much sun on a hot summer day? An unfinished agrument, say on speed limits? Aren’t we are always under the influence of something, substance, or emotion. Those influences are what cause accidents and why there are civil consequences, the question is, for courts of law, is it criminal in each specific instance.
If you can accurately speak with such certainty, you are a far better human being than I. Or maybe just years and years younger!!
