Had a couple beers then drove (not drunk)? Check
Drove drunk? No.. but out there for others
Sneezed while driving? Check
Now.. I've been driving for 7 years. I've gotten in one accident. You know what caused it? You guessed it... sneezing.
Should we enforce everyone to take allegra before they start their car?

You can't help sneezing, really. You can easily, brainlessly, effortlessly avoid:
Talking on a cell while driving
Eating a burger while driving
Driving while drunk
Reading a map while driving
Smoking a cigarette or cigar while driving
etc
I'd make it illegal, and see what happens to a person's insurance when he/she gets in an accident while gabbing to someone he/she didn't really need to be gabbing to in the first place.
I think some people have an exagerated sense of entitlement while behind the wheel. I know one guy who had a freaking DVD and TV screen installed in the front of the car!
