> I still maintain that cocaine or meth would improve the driving skills and response times for a rested person.

Yeah, it does look like the evidence supports that. Interesting stuff.

If restedness is the real factor, it becomes pretty difficult to regulate that. There are two problems I can think of:

1. I don't think that someone being on meth or cocaine meets the burden of proof to say they aren't rested.

2. People drive without adequate rest, even without stimulants. If someone is hasn't slept in 48 hours, it seems like it would be better for them to be on stimulants than not.
