Fatigue does have an effect on your work.

So what. It's not the government's responsibility to decide when I'm fatiqued. I'm perfectly capable of doing that for myself. The government is not your mommy.

It's not for your well-being. (Like make sure you eat three square meals a day and take your vitamins.) It's for the life of the others on the road. I don't think they should limit someone to 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week, but come on. And even if you know your limit, does everyone who drives? And what about those who know they're fatigued and meth themselves up to keep them awake? I would also be willing to bet that your perception of not showing the signs of fatigue are different than the reality.
