doped driving

My driving, over the course of relatively short distances on each occasion, was accordingly conservative, slow. In later years I know that I occasionally took the wheel with what would today be deemed impermissible blood alcohol levels in a spirit of blithe indifference. I drive so little anymore (I noticed the other week that my parallel parking chops have pretty much withered and died) that I'd never operate a motor vehicle at any level of chemical impairment. cordially, Edited by rcareaga May 12, 2015, 04:04:24 PM EDT doped driving On the very few occasions on which I drove thus impaired (a distant era indeed), I was paranoid and highly unhappy with the circumstances that had placed me behind the wheel thus impaired (contra mmoffitt's premises that stoners are uniformly in denial in this matter).

But stats and studies show that you are aware of it, and alter your driving according. Does every one? No. Most young males are crappy drivers, enjoying the rush of adrenaline by going too fast and taking too many chances. They think they will live forever, and do not account for the deadly damage possible. And I assume smoking does little to alter this behavior. But mm will spend the rest of his life demonizing based on a single incident,no matter what the facts show otherwise.

Presumably he will assist Indiana in maintaining the present mediaeval strictures and penalties long after the civilized portions of the country have given up on these. cordially,
