But the bottom line is that you have to take responsibility for yourself. You are responsible for knowing the law and acting within it, even if it's silly. You are responsible for using judgement to keep yourself out of situations where you might have to, for example, sleep in the back of your car instead of driving.

Keep in mind that sleeping in the back of a car with windows up, car running and heater running, you could wind up dead!! (Carbon Monoxide!!)
