Drug testing?

[The Reibz]

Personally (as many others would agree) I play pool alot better after the magic number of 5 beers. After 6, it turns to shit. Whos to say I couldn't ride a motorcycle better after 5 beers... or 5 cones/hits/spots???

If you miss a shot in pool, you wait your next turn. If you miss your line, a rut or a rider ahead going down by an inch or a split second you are as good as a murderer in my books if the resulting crash causes a fatality and you show any level of psychoactive substance.

Given the option of racing on a track where you know no one is on any drugs, or a race track where you know anyone could be on drugs. Where would you rather risk your life racing? Where would you rather your family and friends race?

There are "black tracks" in NZ who don't abide by SNZ rules. Personally I'd rather avoid them. I'm not sure of they have higher crash rates or more fatalities or not.

So how are you going with the testing for legal highs then?

It's a perfectly valid question Glen.

Are you too stupid to formulate an answer?

Urine samples can show a lot, I would presume legal highs would show up. You don't only piss out drugs on a list, you piss out excess nutrients, minerals, bacteria etc. As with all other drugs, zero tolerance.

Do you mean to tell us that you haven't actually found out yet whether the current batch of tests are able to check for all the legal highs that are currently available?

If your're that dam keen to find out do the bloody leg work yourself rather than get someone else to do it for you!

Come on Graham, think about it.....

I'm not the one who started this thread and I'm not the one who is placing myself at risk by racing against potentially impaired competitors.

If the OP was genuine in his concern he would make it a priority to find out for certain.

Nah, but luckily am bright enough to spot a dickhead

Really Glen? So what part of what I've said do you not agree with?

Maybe you're just too stupid to understand what I've said.

Pretty much every credible test of the effects of alcohol on driving for the first question.

Why don't you do a few cones/hits/spots and go for a blat over the hill (or wherever your racer road is) - purely in the interests of science....
