    It's funny how all the lights have to be working, but there's nothing that says you have to have both eyes open

    Of course not... You close one eye so it can sleep and change them out as needed.

    Jeez...thought everyone knew that.

    Actually. If it had been me, I think I'd have said, "It's funny how all the lights have to be working, but there's no requirement for a person with at least half a brain to sit behind the wheel."

    However, it would also depend on the legal definition of 'half a brain'.

    siblings that are not fully developed

    spouse or significant other, abnormal as per the US Code on stupid.
