Default drug driving

have they introduced them machines that can tell if your on drugs yet?

twice in this month I've been driving/riding and I've caught a strong whiff of wacky backy for a few miles

BTW before anyone says its me, i don't touch the stuff

Im not sure mate I think they need blood/hair to test it so it would take a while to get the evidence. Not sure.

Dunno.. but did a stint in a job where I was driving thru on eurostar most weekends from home to Netherlands and our pool car was quite regularly stop-checked. They used to go over the steering wheel with some sort of sponge stuck to the end of a stick resembling a ruler. Can only guess that must have been some sort of test for it??

in germany they make you stop and pee in a cup to test for drugs. i have lost count of the number of times i have had to give the officers a pee sample being des after a night out.
it's a good idea though. not very pleasant, however.

sadly, no. and they stand over you when you pee too, just so you can't "fake" it. unnerving.
