... Goldman, discussing the New Jersey law about driving while drowsy. ... In New Jersey, Governor James McGreevey has signed Maggies Law, a bill that makes operating a vehicle while sleep deprived illegal. New Jersey is the first state in the nation to pass a law like this. ... He was taken to court, and during his second trial- the jury deadlocked at the first- his lawyers used the lack of a law at the defense.
Maggies Law prohibits any person from driving if they have not had sleep in the last 24 hours. ... New Jersey put this law into effect in August of 2003, and they have yet to charge anyone. ... I must say that I am in complete favor of these sorts of laws, although it saddens me to know that a bill like Maggies Law is only passed when someone dies and someone cares enough to fight for stricter laws. ... That is why I think that laws such as Maggies Law are appropriate and should be adopted by every state. ...
Part IV: In this paper, I have discussed the Los Angeles Times article by John Goldman, discussing Maggies Law, which makes it illegal for sleep deprived motorists to drive. ... To conclude, I think that laws such as Maggies Law should be created and enforced by the entire nation.
