Bill,
I did not call you stupid, nor did I know your manner of operation. I'm
glad you operate responsibly. But the facts in your case do not mean that
everyone else will do the right thing.
The potential liability for contest sponsors (i.e. ARRL) that establish
rules of competition that reward people who might do stupid or dangerous things
needs to be considered. More than just the competitors are involved here.

Jim, you are twisting the facts here. Neither I or the multi-op station
operate very late at night. And unlike them, I never operate while in
motion.
I will not put myself or others at risk for the sake of a few more points.
For your information, all my gear is behind the front seats, inaccessible to
me while driving in a contest.
No, I do not need a second person in the vehicle at any time. So lets not
go around calling others stupid without getting the facts correct first.
Thank you.
