Drunk drivers run stop signs 🛑
High people wait for them to turn green. 🚦

[RogerAlan]

Hey, look at that - a reasonable discussion on a controversial topic. Well done, chap.

[dayne]

Saying weed is in the same drug class as heroine and cocaine is like comparing a nerf gun with a ak47

“What are the effects of driving while stoned?”

10/10. Would recommend.
Music sounds better. Wind feels better. And you won’t be speeding.

[stevenmartins]

Drunk drivers kill, high drivers miss their exits.

[jeffersonaponte]

Not a accurate test. He didn't drive through a McDonald's drive - thru.

[ErwinSchrodinger]

The greatest effect while driving high? That's easy: music sounds incredible!

[loganseriani]

The real effect of driving stoned: The police is every other car.

[TheRussell]

"He doesn't drive while high"

Survey shows.... that was a lie

[drakemorgan]

This dude was probably stoned before he smoked that splif

[stefin]

“He doesn’t drive while stoned.”

Yea okay lol

[MyerShift]

The effects?
A little slower, more cautious, much less road rage

[deanryan]

Weed heightens awareness massively especially when driving, police are everywhere!

[glazedandconfused]

I laughed so hard at this. I drive literally everyday while stoned. I've raced motorcycles while stoned. I've gone for job interviews while stoned and got the job. I can do literally anything I can do while sober, while I'm stoned.

[entropy]

I actually took my UK driving test stoned and I passed. Enough evidence for me.

[JuggusNawt]

You could end up using your blinker in a BMW if you get high. Careful kids!

[TooBizarreJulian]

i was so high once that i drove to mcdonalds drive through, ordered, paid and then left without picking up the order

[ArgusKuza]

you can see in his face, he was expecting for him to flop the test being stoned. lmao

[obliolepoint]

They should get people to do cocaine and put them on motorcycles next

[rileyxbell]

Things I do while driving high:
1. Drive under the speed limit
2. Stop at stop signs and wait for them to turn green
3. Mistake every Chevy Malibu/Tahoe for undercover police cars
4. Take 20 minutes to order 2 cheeseburgers in a McDonalds drive thru
