I love getting torqued and going behind the wheel.
Vivid Boy loves a challenge
here's the trick to drinking and driving:
If you try driving on the street you'll end up on the sidewalk. so try driving on the sidewalk and you'll end up on the street. |

I laughed at that because I think everything is funny. But obviously you are just fishing for a laugh.
For anyone who really drives drunk... double vision is direct result of having two eyes.
If you are sooooo drunk that everything is split close one eye.. prefereably the right one and then VIOLA!!!! no more double vision and use your left to keep your car in line with the yellow divider on the road.
/WASHING VIVID'S BALLS
Although that advice kept me on the right side of the road...it did not prevent me from losing my license for driving under the influence.
Don't drive high either. I get frustrated when I hear "I drive slower or more careful when I'm high". Its BS. "I THINK Im driving more careful BECAUSE I am high" is much more accurate a phrase.
Any substance that impares your judgement impares your ability to drive. Period. One day there will be roadside tests for all the 'other' substances that impair judgement, and public opinion will finally accept that driving is not a right...but a privelage not to be taken lightly. I have learned that the hard way.

| As others have replied, I did it quite a few times. In more recent years I've stopped drinking and driving alltogether. I've seen so much stupid on the roads, that its just not worth it. |

A better question is who has driven while under the influence of either drugs or alcohol. |
Totally different, can't even compare them...
I have more than once tbh |

Every test done with real drivers in relation to smoking pot and driving refutes this statement. The only studies done that support your claim have been simulations. "On average, people have a 20% reduction in response-time, so we'll factor in a 20% reduction in response-time in our simulation... Oh! Look at that, the computer AI crashes more, who'd have thunk?!" Is a horrible way of doing a study, it doesn't take into account the driver's increased concentration, likely due to the increased paranoia when one is under the influence of cannabis. The general consensus is that stoned drivers are less likely to CAUSE an accident, but are less likely to AVOID an accident.
To refute my own statement, however, I would agree that a person who doesn't regularly smoke pot, and/or hasn't learned how to function under the influence, would probably not be able to drive properly. Drugs affect different people in different ways, and you can't just say "Look! First-time Sally can barely walk! Obviously, no one can handle a car properly while high."
On a personal level, I DO drive slower when I'm high. I know for a fact that I do, because I check my speed limit regularly, whether I'm high or sober. On average, I drive about 10km/h slower when I'm stoned. I DO look around and try to be more observant when I'm high. I know this for a fact, because the only time I check my side mirrors regularly is when I'm stoned. I also look around more and pay more attention to what others are doing. I'm better able to ignore a lot of the petty distractions that get me when I'm sober when I have a little THC in my bloodstream. When I'm high, I'm much more focused on the job of driving rather than finding a good song on the radio, what CD I want to play, or talking to whoever else is in the car with me.
Coincidently, I was sober for the 2 accidents I've been in over the years, take that for what it's worth. If I'm not actually a SAFER driver when I'm high, I'm certainly no more dangerous on the road than when I'm sober. |

you would be charged with DUI for either so I think its fair to compare the two, I don't see how its any different. |

Thats a stupid comment....I am sure the number of times you drive sober out number the few times you have driven high so the chances of getting into an accident while sober are greater.
Did you know that 33% of all accidents are caused by someone under the influence...that means 64% are caused by sober people....maybe we shouldn't let sober people drive because they cause more accidents. |

That calculator determined that I can drink 5 shots of 40%liquor in 1 hour and still be under.
5 SHOTS IN AN HOUR........I'D BE SHI*FACED!!
I would def blow over after having 5 shots of tequila in an hour then driving |

how can you say this without knowing how often people are bombed..?
for me it's like 50/50
maybe on average the the general population is hammered or high 35% of the time. that would make you 2% more likely to get into an accident while sober.
you should see my mom drive jacked on zoloft and a large hortons coffee(both of which are legal)... i guarantee i could drive in a straighter line with 6-10 beers in me. |
