True, but OTOH they probably didn't reckon on some irresponsible pillock

Just to play devil's advocate: how many drivers go to work with a cold
and feeling a bit crap, but not crap enough to physically not be able to
present themselves?

You can probably function much better with a cold than after a long fast with
no water. But certainly anything more serious and you'd expect them to stay
at home. If someone turned up to work with flu so bad they could barely
concentrate and crashed the train I'd expect the book to be thrown at them.

But the point stands that the driver is making a judgement.

Personally, I can sympathise with the fasting, but the not drinking
water is absurd (are they really prohibited from that?).

i knew muslims in countries in forrin countries before
the present hassle who told me that swallowing their
own spit would break their fast
but the moment the sun goes down they could pig out to
their hearts content
