Retards will continue to be retards no matter how many sappy posters we show to them. To be honest, it isn't the driving drunk/stoned that's the problem, it's the arrogant bastard behind the wheel, who thinks he's immune to the drawbacks of doing so (and the attitude that causes that), that is the real problem.

yeah but he could avoid hitting someone if he wasnt under the influence [even with the attitude] , the drugs seriously affect driving
I've tried driving drunk a few times, it was just.. too fast

No, I really do, no joke man
When I'm stoned, I get paranoid, and that pressure brings out the best in me. Im much more attentive and aware of myself, I've been smoking weed for 7 years now. Being high is second nature

I was forced to drive at the end of a shroom trip once. Turned on some techno and I felt like I was in a video game, everything seemed slow motion. Now that I look back on it, I was probably stupid for taking advantage of that, but I had a damn fun time I felt like I was the best freaking driver in the world (And I really was pulling off some moves on the highway)

I'm not the one claiming to be a statistical anomaly.
The idea of this thread is to remind folks that their car, freedom, and right to drive are the LEAST they should be worried about losing. The person you might wind up fucking over, mangling, or killing... is what should keep you driving sober. I'm not important enough to ignore the law and put everyone around me at risk of potential mortal danger. Are you that important?

Driving drunk is one thing, and its a dumb thing to do, but what i am telling you is getting high in no way lowers the importance of my safety, and other drivers' safety when i get behind that wheel.

If driving under any impairment whatsoever is bad, then you should just as judgemental of people who drive in the rain as people who drive stoned. Weed may impair one's abilities slightly, but I don't think the impairment is strong enough to justify being a dick about it.

When faced with fact that it's an entirely unnecessary risk, and that it's a risk to people who aren't you, and are innocent... I think it's understandable to be a bit of a dick.
If it could only fuck yourself over to do it, that's one thing. Do whatever you want to yourself, you have that right. But as John Stuart Mill said, "one man's right to swing his arm ends where my nose begins". An action ceases to be your right when that action encroaches on the rights of others. In this case it's detracting from their safety.
Of course how irresponsible this action actually is has a lot to do with how stoned you are, exactly. If you're a little buzzed, it's not a big factor. I can understand that. But if you're still nicely stoned, or you're smoking in the car, you're being a prick to everybody else on the road. I'm sure it's a different level of impairment for different people, but It's not going to make you better at driving. The paranoia could do a good job of balancing things out, if you're not too baked, but if you're just plain stoned you're still going to drive a little less safely.
Sorry if I'm being a dick, but it's just not an ethical thing to do.

If you have never driven stoned you have missed out on a definite pleasure, it's great. I concentrate on a deeper level, every gear change is as smooth as silk, and I can see situations developing way ahead of 'normal' time - 'cos I'm thinking and reacting from a deeper place...
Ecstasy too, to me that feels like the most normal state of mind anyway, like I'm 'home'.

Yes, and let's not forget drivers on too much caffeine, who drive too fast, cut other drivers off, tailgate, and yell at/flip off anyone who gets in their way.
Or the sleep-deprived drivers who cause many accidents through their slowed reflexes and impaired judgment.
Or the distracted drivers who believe they can talk on their cell phone, eat breakfast, put on makeup, yell at their kids in the backseat, switch CD's in the stereo, and argue with their date in the passenger seat, without compromising their driving abilities.

Anyway, I believe him. I bet he can drive well stoned. You aren't proving anything by saying "you just THINK you're driving well, but you're stoned so you dont know"...wrong.
Some people (believe it or not) can actually drive well while in altered states. Me, I can drive well when I'm drunk or when I'm stoned. I try not to do it often because i know it's dangerous. You have to remember, there are exceptions to everything. Not EVERYBODY sucks at driving while stoned or while drunk.

Happy Birthday!
I think the problem with making the distinction between thinking you can drive well while impaired, and actually being able to drive well while impaired, is that the answer may only be found through an experiment which potentially endangers others.
It is much more ethical to assume that, like most humans, impairing your senses with drugs/alcohol/sleepiness causes your driving to worsen.

Weed doesn't impair you NEARLY as much as alcohol when it comes to driving. NOWHERE near close, actually. Scientific fact. Comparing driving high on weed to driving drunk is just fucking retarded.

Driving around drunk is a terrible idea and I would never condone it, but I must admit that I know from experience earlier on in my life (at least for me) that driving when I am extremely tired is MUCH more risky. I have a feeling that most drunk driving accidents are caused when the driver actually passes out at the wheel and the same goes for the sleep deprived drivers obviously. That being said, if you are not shitfaced, but maybe over the legal limit then I believe that you are taking less of a risk (in terms of harming another) than if you were to go driving on the highway while tired which is something people do ALL the time and I never hear anyone bitching and putting out posters about that. In my experience, when most are drunk driving, they are doing so very late at night when there are very few cars on the road and not blazing down the highway at 75mph with 4 cars 5 feet away.
Driving while stoned is a whole other issue because it effects everyone differently.
Again, I'm not condoning driving drunk at all, I just think all this MADD stuff has gotten a little out of hand and people need to look at all the other things that may impair your driving.

hahahaha god do i love that show... but on a more serious note I also saw that show on her vary sad, but this is the reason why I believe booze should be illegal and pot legalized I know this will never happen but look how much damage alcohol dose, compared to pot. How may people die because of it not just car crashes but all the shit it dose to your poor body. I don't know how people can drink that crap.

Anyone that drives under the influence needs to get their ass kicked. Plain and simple. I have in three fights in 2005 for not allowing roommates and friends leave the house, two were drunk one was super stoned. What right do people have to put other people in danger? Driving impaired is selfish. It's a "I am going to do what I want to do regardless of other peoples safety" mentallity. Screw that.

I've pissed off some of my friends by not letting them leave my house wasted. I've also been in 4 wrecks because the person I was with was drunk. I don't like my friends being put in danger like that anymore.
I have a friend who was found by the cops passed out in a school parking lot while his truck was on the side of the road, door open and running. He left the house where we were drinking about 20 minutes prior to that, saying he was going home. His house was in the ENTIRE DIFFERENT DIRECTION of the school he was found at.
We don't let him drink unless his keys are safely hidden.

We have a commercial around here saying 1/3 of accidents involve drugs or alcohol.
I guess they're trying to say you have a 66% better chance of being in an accident if you're sober.

Given that driving drunk is quite stupid, you must remember that drugs effect everyone differently. I've been flamed for saying this, but I've driven drunk plenty more times than I should have and I've never had a problem. This could be because I never drink myself into a state where I can't control myself or my actions... or it could be because I'm lucky to not have been around someone else who was driving drunk.
It seems hypocritical to say this, but I don't trust anyone else drivng drunk. I only trust myself because I know I have the capability to drive in an altered state if I really need to. I don't live in a very big town so I don't have to encounter some of the things that others might. When I drink at my buddy's house, it is a straight shot from there to my place of residence (about 15 miles away). Cruise control is a blessing, keep it 4mph over the speed limit, and stay inside the lines. It's quite simple. I really don't feel like getting flamed for saying all of the above and I'm not bragging, but I do have people that can attest to the fact that I drive well in altered states.

you're missing the point in my opinion.
if something that requires a quick response w/ very little time to realize what's going on (say, another car heading for you, a deer jumping out on the road, etc), a sober person is going to be much better at avoiding catastrophe than a drunk one, on average. that's all.

I totally agree with you.
If that were to happen, and one was drunk, their response time would not be as quick as it should have been.

Ill admit Ive drove down the road drunk before. Although it was a country road with no one around and I only had to go two miles. I wouldnt drive drunk where ever I could put someone else in danger.

But what I'm personally defending is the careless mistakes while driving drunk side. To me it seems as though everyone thinks that this well happen and it's totally untrue.

I used to live in a small nebraska town
I would get wasted on the country roads and rarely have to see another car.. when I did happen to pass someone else, I was only going around 30 miles an hour.
still, that was dumb of me. I actually put my car in a ditch once from drunk driving and trying to turn onto a gravel road during the rain. I had a 30 pack in my trunk and a police officer came the next morning, but said there was nothing he could do (wtf?) so I got away scot-free.
those days are over for me now. I don't even have a car

You should see what it's like in New Jersey. I live in the most densly populated state for it's size, and prolly the most ignorent as well. We have all kinds of drunken, speedy assholes around here. More then I care to expose my kids too.

Accidents happen.
The legal limit is ridiculous, btw. .08 in TX
Drinking impairs judgement, therefor drinking and driving laws are made to sway the unimpaired sober citizens to avoiding drinking altogether. Now let's get high!

of course it is, it's preferable in my book - no road rage. Like Bil Hicks said, you can't pick a fight on MJ

You're also forgetting something that means a dire risk to your own wellbeing.
If some dumbass bad driver were to, say... pull out of a parking lot right in front of you, and you hit them. It's still your fault once they find out you're inebriated. And they make you pay dearly for what the dumb fucker did to you.
Also, it's not unheard of for bystanders to beat the shit out of someone if they find out they were driving inebriated when an accident occurred.
To be honest, I myself might beat the shit out of you in that case, and I haven't hit a person, or even threatened to, in a decade.

I dunno man. . . i know a lot of truck drivers that get high, i went to a friend of mines' dad's company picnic, he was a truck driver. . . Never met more stoners in my life. They're the pros but im sure theyd get tired if they smoked a lot. But point is here in PA if youre any sort of a decent driver, you HAVE to pay attention to the road, stoned or not. I CAN (dont argue w/me i can im a very good driver, fast if you want me to be). After breaking many things in my car i can barely afford (subaru svx), getting rear-ended and totaled, hitting a tree first snowstorm in a blazer that the 4wd was faulty (ive only had my liscence for a year, and only been driving 4 months outta the year cuz i also got an underage). ive realised a car is not a toy, its a privelege. Respect it. cuz theres deer, snow, rain, sticks, turtles, coons, squirrels (but those you get ten points if you hit them) and many other of natures little nuissances. Point is youre behind the steering wheel of a massive killing machine, dont drive it like that.

I was once pulled over for speeding. It didn't have anything to do with the fact that I was high. I just didn't see the sign where the speed limit changed. Anyway, I took a sobriety test. I passed all the tests having to do with motor skills and whatnot(like walking a straight line or touching your finger to your nose), but when he took my pulse and shined the light in my eyes, he could tell that I was stoned. He told me this, but let me go anyway, saying that he felt I wasn't a threat to anyone on the road. So, if a cop thought I was safe to drive stoned, then who am I to argue?
