Super Important - Drugs and Driving

prom: i know. but every time i think about my dad i'm reminded just how harsh life is. if someone makes their bed they can lie in it. just because the realities of killing yourself by driving home on drugs are harsh doesn't make the facts any less real.
*bump*
if i'd had my wits about me i woulda printed this thread and done a windscreen drop in the carpark at welcome. ah well, next time.
 
although i now live in brisbane I still do some work down the gold coast a couple of days a week. A couple of weeks ago I was driving to work (about midday) and all of a sudden felt really tired and started dosing off. It was really scary, I don't know what the hell came over me. I was very lucky that there was a petrol station only km or so away, but I had to try really hard to keep my eyes open. Boy I was glad when I pulled into there and bought a can of smart to wake me up. I ended up sitting at the petrol station for about 15 mins until I was fully awake. I know for sure if that petrol station hadn't had been so close there is no doubt in my mind that i would have pulled over that is for sure. There is definitely nothing more scarier then knowing that u are losing control when u are driving. I know from experience that there is quite a few brisbane/coast bluelighters that choose to take the long drive home chopped from a rave or big night out and it dissapoints me quite a lot that continue to do so even after much warning from others :( I just hope that after reading this thread that they might reconsider their actions

Don't be one of them, even more so, don't be the cause of any through not being able to drive (as good as you should be able to) through drug usuage...

what wazza said.
any of you people die and i will be mightily pissed off.
 
And just to confirm that I still follow the good path. Mega big weekend went to bush doof took very little chems slept for five hours, had brecky packed car and drove home. Its easy to do and didn't ruin any of my fun.
 
Being one of the oldies (egad, 27!) round here, I feel the need to add my two cents to this thread.
When I was younger, I did some very stupid things. I drove home tired a few times, even had the odd nod at the wheel whilst driving home and yes, I did drink and drive about four or five times. But it wasn't until I was 22 (can you believe it) when I finally woke up to myself, in the worst possible way.
One of my all time bestest friends from high school was drving home (around about a fwo hour drive) after just finishing her required hours to finish her university course in Chiropratic practice. She was, without doubt the most level headed, responsible, caring, thoutful person in the world... yet she was killed when she (although never completely proven) feel asleep at the wheel.
I can still remember every detail about the two hour phone call I got the next night. I had never, ever cried in my life up until then and I continued to cry for months afterwards.
I won't drag this out because I am sure everyone has their own sad tale to tell. All I will say is, just use common sense. If you feel fatigue coming on in any shape or form, pull over on the side of the road and have a nap. It doesn't matter if you have a job to go to, an assignment to hand in or an exam.
Every time I go out clubbing, it is always about a two hour drive. If ever I get the slightest bit of fatigue, I pull over on the side of the road. Once I was so fucked up, it took me nine hours to get home. Even then I probably should have had some more sleep.
 
i know how u feel DQ & i'm on your side the whole way ... i lost my father when i was 6 .. yesterday (20/02/02) would've been his 45th birthday .. i've now realised that i'd rather be safe then sorry & not turn out the way my father did (it was a fatal car accident only involving him & only him in the car) he was stoned off his brain & highly intoxicated but wanted 2 be home with his kids & wife 4 his favourite roast but never made it
i wont get in a car with some1 who is highly scattered or still buzzing, & i recommend that every1 take public transport or a taxi or sleep 4 hours b4 driving it will save your life as well as others
[EDIT} a $20 taxi ride or a $2.60 train ride is better than ur life, use common sense [EDIT/]

Long weekend coming up, Two Tribes and a few other events..
Be smart people!!!!
Scat driving = An accident waiting to happen...
 
Richmond station is 5 mins walk away from 2 tribes, Flinders st about 10, and the number 70 tram goes right to the entrance... Bugger driving, public transport is too easy...
 
i spotted a couple of mildly pranged cars parked on Swan St outside melbourne park during two tribes. i almost couldn't decide whether to laugh at their foolish attempts to drive or be really fucking pissed off. almost.
Please guys keep reminding yourselves that people can get hurt and killed very easily on the roads. most of the time there is fuck-all need to drive home scattered or sleep deprived, especially from parties in the CBD where public transport is easily accessible.
Thanks to the HDP and others for their efforts in getting to and more importantly FROM two tribes in a safe manner. that maxi taxi driver sure learnt a bit about how "fucked" Prom was on the way home... ;)
 
and i was really unimpressed by the actions of a certain bluelighter who railed a point of meth "to stop me from falling asleep" immediately before driving across melbourne between recovery parties earlier this week. at least this BLer felt guilty enough about this that he/she had to lie to me about it. yeah, i thought that was a fucking long walk.
not very fucking impressed at all. some people really are fucked in the head, and have no regard for others.
fuck that. i expect more from you who call yourselves educated, "harm-minimisation" people. some of you are just a fucking joke.
DQ
 
i was an ignorant person who said it would never happen to me....
i wasnt tired, i wasnt peaking, but scattered as a fuck....
driving along a congested road friend in passanger seat, i tryed to light a smoke, taking my concerntration of the road, which was allready stressed as far as concentration goes, looked up and was on the other side of the road, swerving back to my lane i narrowly missed an oncomming car... riskingthe lives of my friend the driver of the other car and there passanger.
please be careful i was lucky, you might not be so....
