Drugalyser "zero tolerance for some drugs"

[Chemical Samile]

I can't remember the last time anyone looked at me like I was stoned, i can't remember the last time anyone asked me if I was stoned

That'll be the short-term memory loss

The difference between weed high and drunk is an hour or so after a smoke you are back to a baseline where driving is possible.

I drive while smoking weed at least 5 times a day. Without a thought.

Drink is another matter altogether. No chance.

alcohol metabolic pathway gets quickly saturated, so if you have 3 pints in the evening then go to sleep, you wake up still over the limit.

letting people drive with any amount of alcohol in their system is just an invitation for pissheads to get behind the weel, and fucking stupid.

I'm still interested to hear the views of other regular drug users who would likely fail this test. Seems it's only the stoners that are willing to admit they'd still drive while over this limit.

Just occurred to me as I drove into Edinburgh this morning that I was "under the influence" of kratom, and I have been every time I've driven in the last year or so. If I hadn't been it would have been an exercise in motivation just to make it to the car.

Not getting tested for though.

Has zero negative effect on my driving. I'd be happy to put money on it having a positive effect.

I see they've left out caffeine in their plans. Why? I know of people who drink those shitty energy drinks every few hours and drive wired to the hill. Road rage galore. It can be just as dangerous as anything else really.

I had two red bulls in the car this morning and drove perfectly calmly.

 

[Funkadelica]

^ That's the argument though is it not? Some people can drive perfectly fine when it comes to taking something but others perhaps can't. At my old job one of my colleagues would sometimes drink those Monster energy drinks every hour or so until we left work. I would say that's about 5 or 6 throughout the day. He would become an aggressive bastard behind that wheel in the van on those days. Very jittery, impatient and edgy. Wasn't great fun to be fleeing around with him. Definitely avoided some shaky moments.

Must be one hell of a big car.

It's a "sports tourer" aka estate With the back seats down you'd be surprised.

I really do make some lousy jokes from time to time, don't I?

Man up and tell the truth..

If that comment includes me; I haven't and hope (never say never n all that) I never will. Not self righteous, just a different (less selfish) opinion to yours

Well not specifically no, but if the cap fits an' all that But have you never driven after having had a spliff, or on a comedown, or in any other condition where your sensibilities are somewhat impaired? Actually, don't answer that, you'll just say 'NO'

 

[gayorstraight]

Sorry but it is a no. That's not to say that I'm not selfish or irresponsible in other ways, just not this

 

[knock]

Have you passed your test?

 

[gayorstraight]

Me? Yeah, 9 years ago

 

[Cornishman]

Same here gos.

In 2004 I passed my test before going on to own the most powerful 1 litre production car. (Daihatsu charade).
