You can probably function much better with a cold than after a long fast with

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.
If he can't make the correct judgement in a safety critical situation then he
should find an alternative career where he can't potentially endanger peoples
lives.
Personally, I can sympathise with the fasting, but the not drinking
water is absurd (are they really prohibited from that?).
They're not prohibited from anything, they chose to follow their religion.
But yes, apparently eating, drinking, smoking and sex are all no-nos according
to wonkypedia.
