In this day and aage commuting from France/Glasgow/Newcastle or even driving a few hours isn't a problem.
Yes it is a big problem. Fatigue is a killer and should be avoided. It's your sort of attitude that will eventually lead to a lot of people being killed. As it says on the motorway Tiredness Kills

I've no objection at all to people who commute large distances. But if you do then you should have accomodation near the airport where you can take rest before report. Where you choose to live should not effect how you turn up for work. You should be fully rested. That means not driving in excess of 90mins before report. It's time this was made current legislation.
