Cannabis-affected drivers more common than drunks: research

[peasea]

It called mechanical failure. It not an accident. Bullshit yourself.

More pneumatic than mechanical.

i was wondering when the thread was going to get back to smoking drugs......

well it is my day off, and im stuck waiting for the bleedin builder to get here. what else ya want me to do? no rude answers please (unless they from females)

when it affected the other vehicles is when it became an accident, not the original "mechanical failure".

I see what you are getting at, but I respectfully disagree and will explain.... the mechanical failure/fault as you will is the cause of the crash via the driver then failing to be able to retain control of the vehicle after incurring the blow-out. That fact that the vehicle then hit other vehicles is no accident, merely the resulting flow-on effects of the crash caused by a failure in the tyre.

Sad? yes. Tragedy? quite possibly. But it is no accident. There is always a cause or more than one contributing or aggravating factor as to why crashes occur.

That would be true.... I was being generic. But thanks

Riding/driving under the influence of any perception altering substance should be avoided IMO.
If ya into a bit of weed smoke it at home,nothing wrong with it.

There's a huge difference between someone that smokes on occasion and a stoner.
Someone that has the occasion drink isn't an alcoholic are they?

[scumdog]

agreed, that statement about weed leading to harder drugs is bullshit.

Probably.
It's likely the losers that end up on harder drugs probably started off on cannabis, some people are natural addicts and would have ended up on harder stuff even without grass.

But some did start off on grass, got bored/mixed with worse loser drug addict types who suggested 'cmon mate, just one hit, frikkin magic I tell ya' and so on down the drug-drain...

Any one else had this weird problem.

I found myself one sunny lunchtime sitting at a park bench about halfway around the coro loop on my bike, but I couldn't remember how I got there. But the last thing I remembered was having a big fat joint in West Auckland. This really freaked me out so I had a big fat joint to calm my nerves.
Next thing I know I'm back home in West Auckland like it never happened. I decided I must have just been really stoned and it was all a dream and maybe aliens abducted me. So I had a big fat joint to calm my nerves.

But the really freaky thing!!! The clock on the wall had moved 6 hours!!
Arrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!

I had a similar experience except one minute i was standing with a brush in my hand and the next i hoeing into a tub of orange choc chip ice cream.

bike was in mint condition when i wheeled it out the next day! sweeet.

God yes. Kill all stoners now!

But what are you gonna do about it, dude? The suspension is killing me!

Thats because of the aggresive S-Rad link. No amount of mind altering substances are going to anathestise that backache device. We have a legal cure.

Knew a guy who delighted in riding whilst blazed, and he kept wondering why he kept dropping his bike? be interesting to see the results of the study, and what theyve based the conclusions on.

Yes, I'll be seeing you about that once the entrails are bolted back in...
