When I was in high school, two kids a couple classes below me were driving over the pass smoking pot, high of course. They hit a family head on and killed them, but the two fuckers lived.
 Neither pot or alcohol goes with driving.

Actually, LOTS of dead drivers (and passengers) test positive in the toxicology reports from the coroner. It's just a matter of whether the intox level contributed to the collision or not. |

I have said it many times and I'll say it again: I would rather have the roads populated with pot heads than drinkers at 3:00 AM in the morning. Odds are the pot heads will not be crashing their cars.

Actually, there are no "BS figures" She was caught and screened thru SFST's and found to be impaired. Just like any other drunk driver. I love the way you blame a 3 year old for it's own death. If the kid got away from mom than the death is perfectly okay?  Man, the lengths dopers will go to justify their vice.

So coke & weed dont impair driving? It's the 30-year olds fault? I'm sure the weed only made her more cautious and the coke only made her more alert, it must be the toddlers fault then.

While not attempting to justify the "driver's" actions, how do you know the kid DIDN'T get away from mom when the only info we have available is : "The teen ran over 3-year-old Autumn McCleary last month as she tried to cross the street." Show me where it says the mom was crossing the street with the kid, please... - georgestrings |

In the fatalities I have personally worked? 21 out of 79 had measurable traces of drugs in their system. The drugs were a direct factor in about a dozen, roughly 2/3rd's that of alcohol. (keep in mind druggies ingest alcohol too.) Also, not all deaths were the driver, and impairment does not count in that instance. They cover a variety, even Ecstasy. Though marijuana and coke prevailed. My point is, drugs and driving don't mix. But if that makes me a troll, so be it. Anything to justify your habit. I love the druggie argument. Alcohol is BAD therefore Drugs are BLAMELESS. One of the stupidest lines of reasoning out there.  In a fatality collison, I EXPECT the toxicology report to show something. After all, clean sober people just don't kill themselves all that often.

Let me get this straight. You want to give the driver a FREE PASS on vehicular homicide because the kid's mom was not present? |

Oh yes it would have. Driving While Impaired and Vehicular Homicide make no distinction between legal and illegal drugs. As an aside, the only legal use of drugs that I have ever seen lead to a fatality involved insulin. (or lack therof) |

it's sad. But saying "another stoned driver kills" is giving way too much credit to the weed. Cocaine also impairs, not to mention that a 15 yo shouldn't have been driving to begin with. Where did she get the car? Did her mom leave the keys out, or maybe give them to her? Ban cars, it's for the children.

These cars are just too easy for dopers and irresponsible kids to get ahold. We should enact a registration law.... oh wait. Never mind, just ban them all and use presant registration lists to go door to door confiscating these evil destructive devices
Or we could outlaw marijuana and cocaine. All I know is we have to ban SOMETHING, sombody died! |

Sounds like another dumb cunt teenager fucked up.
IMO this probably has less to do with the fact that she was a druggie but that she was a dumb bitch. Drugs dont kill people, people kill people. Its about personal responsibility, and she wasnt responsible, she deserves worse than whatever she gets. |

Just curious, but WTF does it matter of joe sixpack in the back seat was so drunk he was passed out if johnny-teetotaler gets distracted yapping on his cell phone while driving joe sixpack home from the bar and runs into a utility pole? Basically, why does the intoxication level of the passengers have anything to do with the accident? |

There should be a Federal Ban on killing people with cars. If there were one, that little child would be alive today.
What percentage of traffic fatalities were caused by persons under the influence of legal drugs, illegal drugs, and no drugs? What kind of drugs was Laura Bush on when she killed someone in a vehicular accident when she was 16? Stats! |

AR15fan, it is no good arguing with these pot heads. They love their drug and will argue with you till the end of time to try to prove that drugs are not harmfull and 100% safe and truly good for you! No matter what you say to them they will come back saying you are a moron and wrong. Fact is drugs fuck you up in just about every way. |

so what is the agreed level of marijuana in the blood that is conclusively associated with impairment? In other words, how much marijuana in the blood is equivalent to somebody blowing legally drunk on the breathalyzer? |

I have never worked a DUI checkpoint and remain opposed to them. However it should be illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, and many Rx meds. |

The NHTSA stats are approximately half of all fatal accidents involve one or more driver under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or both. additionally 60-75% of drivers in single vehicle collisions have a BAC of .10% or more. |

They are some of the most dangerous drivers on the road. But the same people that want it to be legal to drive on marijuana, cocaine, ecstacy and meth want it to be legal to drive on Rx meds too. |
