No disrespect to some previous posters, but I reckon getting shit-faced and jumping behind the wheel is about the most fucked-up thing you can do. It goes without saying how irresponsible driving whilst drug-impaired is and its gratifying to read about some close-calls that brought about a rethink on the practice. I'm as guilty as the next bloke of such stupidity, coming from a time when the journey was measured by how many longnecks could be comfortably knocked along the way. I stayed lucky until in short shrift I wiped-out 3 cars (counting my own) one night and some time later did my licence for DD. That was the end of boozy driving for me.
I have never had issues with driving while stoned and my driving responses have been tested by random events on the road that wouldn't have been significantly better had I been straight, IMO. However, now that RDT is here, like it or not, I have to have a rethink on that as well. I know we're all different when it comes to handling the effects of our DOC's but I have trouble enough driving my recliner after dosing anything more exotic than choof. My switch has been well and truly flicked.
