Carrying weed in your car....

[LIP]

Why make a comparison between two wrongs?
Asking if I would prefer you behind the wheel stoned or drunk is ridiculous since the answer is a firm NEITHER!

Neither wasnt an option.

And anyway, peoples opinions arnt going to change mine. I'll drive stoned if i want to, and who's going to stop me?

[psychocat]

How extremely mature an attitude , not selfish at all.

[LIP]

Well no, i dont think it is. Almost EVERY driver has had an accident at some point in their life - not me though. Like i said, i've never even come close, and i took both my tests stoned. I've been driving stoned since i started. I already know im a good driver - but im also a good stoned driver.

I know you wouldnt rather i was drunk, so whats the problem?

I dont drive around with the mentality that it'll never happen to me, because people who do are the statistics. But, i have plenty of driving experience, an advanced driving licence, and clean driving licence and i've never even been pulled over.

As far as im concerned, me, driving stoned is just as good, if not better than other people driving sober.

And to be honest, i couldnt give a toss if it's selfish - look out for #1, and I'm #1.

A good buddy of mine got busted last week. He was driving drunk/stoned and decided to pull over at a public library to rest up, and he woke up to a cop standing outside his window. The cop asked him to get out of the car and asked him how much alcohol he had consumed that night. He is 18 and thus illegally drunk. He had a gram of really dank bud in his pocket, and the cop patted him down and asked him if he had any drugs on him. He said no, and the cop reached into his pocket and pulled out the weed. "this would explain the other thing i smelled..." he said. The cops also found mushrooms in chocolate bars, but the dumb pigs thought it was weed! But the kicker of the story is my buddy usually keeps all his contraband in a sealed camoflaged (it's like Ajax Bleach or something, they are super realistic. they twist off at the bottom and thats where you put your stuff. we get them at a records/headshop) can. Why the weed/shrooms weren't in the can i don't know, but it was a combination of really bad decisions and really bad luck that busted him. But anyways he kept the can in the trunk, and they didn't find it.

i really like that 1law at a time rule. that seems smart.

IMPOSSIBLE !

x² ÷ 20 + x = Overall stopping distance in feet.

x = speed

For example: If you are travelling at 30 mph

30² ÷ 20 + 30 =

(30 x 30) ÷ 20 + 30 =

900 ÷ 20 + 30 = 75 ft.

What's your coefficient of friction? What is the surface area of the tires that make contact with the road surface? What kind of brakes?

What's your coefficient of friction? What is the surface area of the tires that make contact with the road surface? What kind of brakes?

The figures quoted are an average therefore if you took all the data from all makes of cars then you would be able to work out an average.
Now take an F1 car, there are thousands of points of data that you can take from an F1 car like
Downforce which is adjustable
Aerodynamics which is also fully adjustable
Temperature of tyres
Temperature of brakes

BUT when you break it all down all of the above have one thing in common and that's that they all have an average.

a. An intermediate level or degree: near the average in size.
b. The usual or ordinary kind or quality: Although the wines vary, the average is quite good.
3. Sports The ratio of a team's or player's successful performances such as wins, hits, or goals, divided by total opportunities for successful performance, such as games, times at bat, or shots: finished the season with a .500 average; a batting average of .274.

Satisfactory expanation ?

Regardles of your attempt to muddy the waters it is IMPOSSIBLE for a vehicle travelling on regular roads using even the best of statistics to stop from 40 mph within 12 feet.
Basic physics has shown this in tests carried out by people like these RoSPA : Road Safety

[Beefer86]

You werent clear; You talk to me condescendingly like I dont know what an average is. I was asking you to explain your reasoning, not attacking you personally. If you treat complete strangers(especially those whose major is physics) with such contempt, I wonder about your families and loved ones.

Oh well, thats what I get for asking questions again.

I've driven high MANY more times than I've driven sober. I've gotten in one accident and been pulled over three times. Got in the accident and received my only speeding ticket when completely sober.

Only reason I was pulled over the other two times, both while having a half O in my console and after smoking a couple bowls, was because when they ran my plates I came up as some 42 year old black guy wanted for aggravated robbery. It was a short stop and they apologized for the inconvenience. I'm also the best driver out of all of my friends and everyone I know(most parents included).

I agree with Mississippi on theory, that yes, you are impaired. But it's not nearly as impairing as alcohol/putting on makeup/loud stereo playing/adhd/being asian/lots of friends in the car, things you see on the roads nearly every day.

[iluv2smoke]

First rule of thumb is to not give them a reason to stop you.

If you do get stopped I wouldn't consent to a search. If you say no and that gives them reason to think you're hiding something, then a good lawyer could get you off. Exercising your constitutional rights shouldn't create probable cause to search the vehicle.

LMFAO!!! Put an asian in the classroom they'll fuck up the curve, put an asian in the car they'll hit the curve.
