So, here is a turn up for the books. On my way to work this morning and I was pulled up by an unmarked police car.

A little unusual, but it always seems that I get RBT'd in the morning :blink: .

Anyway expecting the RBT and the policeman pulls out a swab. Wow, OK.

Anyhoo, went without a hitch despite being held up for 10 mins waiting for the result. I have never had this happen before.

Just wondering how prevalent this is?

Also, I understand that if you have been indulging the night or even week before you can be picked up. It seems that it is black and white. You are or you're not, unlike the 0.05 rule with alcohol.

Apparently James the incidence of illicit drugs in motorists is running as high as 1 in 15 (in eastern seaboard cities atm).

Our next door neighbour's daughter a few yrs ago was walking along the GWH and was killed by a woman driving under the influence of weed.

Nowadays, there's a lot of amphetamine and methamphetamine too.

The more druggies the cops catch the less car thefts there'll be (to some extent).

I think drug testing is a great thing. Unfortunately it's limited what it can test for. Obviously I won't specify that! Very high percentage of drivers involved in fatal collisions positive to drugs.

Hmm I don't mind that cops Drug Test anyone, it's their job to it's hard to come around that but, just wondering these tests would really only pick up drugs that are exclusive to blood and found in saliva (which is most drugs) but i'm wondering if drugs people take for medical use such as like different strands of painkillers will come up? in which case they are just getting an indication that there are drugs in their body and then have to take it for further testing that will take more time.

In the future, if marijuanha is used for painkilling purposes, it'll require a prescription - probably for marijuanha biscuits.

That prescription/repeat copy will probably need to be on the person himself/herself.

That's not to say though that some people might fake pain to qualify for such a script - in which case, they can legally have marijuanha in the system whilst drug tested.

Interesting post Andrew.

I have been drug tested about 4-5 years ago when I was on my P's in Geelong, obviously negative result.

I think it is a great thing, because if there is any trace of drugs then that = a court date/fine whatever...

HOWEVER with alcohol its kind of a temptation thing... Because we are allowed to be .05 we know we can get away with having a drink, or is it half a drink for some people?

or can the big guy (me) have 2 standard drinks and be fine?

Or maybe even that pot you had with dinner has put you over.. and there is no way of finding out either!?

Sure you can spend up to a grand on a proper breath testing unit but who the f**k does that?, and furthermore it's still not going to give the same result as the police breath tester!...

Either way its a messed up situation, and I strongly believe that it should be .00 for EVERYONE and also no drugs... coz drugs are bad mmkaayyy

Edit - the only reason I believe it should be 00 is because it then takes the temptation away, so theres no guessing if your drink driving or not.

That's an interesting post too Daniel.

It may not be workable whilst several cough medicines contain alcohol; but would it save Lives?

The answer is YES. Alcohol is still the most abused drug in our society.

this is why p platers used to(and may still) have a 0.02 limit, to cover medicines.

It sure is abused!

I've heard myths that someone got away with drink driving by claiming they "ate a cherry ripe".

Save lives? I dunno, but if its going to stop drink drivers running into me then I'm all for it.

Last April a drunk driver rear ended my pride and joy 180sx and completely wrote it off... luckily he had full comp insurance and I bought a 34, even though I'm over the moon about my 34, I'd still rather have not gone through that heartbreak I experienced!

I had pizza on the passenger seat when I got RBT's, the machine you speak into gave a positive reading, blew a 0. Yes, the officer on duty said straight away it's the pizza before breathe testing me the second time.

scary thing is that alcohol is a legal drug. so easy to get, costs 2 much for me though lol

I haven't been drug tested on the road, but I have been at work. The first time it happened I learnt a few things...

1. Codeine has a half life of around 24-48 hours

2. Codeine is an opiate, and because it is an opiate it flags a positive for opiates (eg, morphine, opium, heroin ect)

3. It pays to keep the Nurofen Plus packaging on your person to help build your case that you aren't shooting up during your lunch break :laugh:

I would say the mobile phone whilst driving is a close second most abused drug in society.

The number of retards texting and shit while they drive is staggering.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff

    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
