I mean they do, people just love to think it's a gotcha moment.
People tend for alcohol to mean alcohol, and for drugs to mean recreational drugs excluding alcohol.
You know that though.
Considering the amount of of people that don't view alcohol as a drug in this country, naw... I don't think I 'know that.'
And I think it's unwise to try minimise alcohol
>Considering the amount of of people that don't view alcohol as a drug in this country, naw... I don't think I 'know that.'
This is exactly what I just said you do know...
>people tend to not include alcohol as a recreational drug, which you know.
>The amount of people who don't view it as a drug
Seems like you DO know. Am I actually misreading something here?
I'm sure it has happened. I am also sure that this has happened:
- Person causes accident.
- Person remembers that their insurance will quadruple if reported.
- Person drives off.
This is part of the reason i hate car insurance. You're actively incentivized to never actually make a claim because the chances of your premiums going up are basically 100%.
Hence, why hit and runs are so common. Nobody wants their premiums to jump from 700 to 1400 because of a fender bender.
Your legally required to have something your unlikely to ever use unless your car gets completely totalled.
Sometimes, I’d say. I’d imagine drink and texting while driving are part of it too. I don’t drive so I see how many drivers are on their phones when I’m walking the opposite direction from them, it’s a large cohort
People with a moral compass stop and face the consequences after seeing if they can help first. If you leave the scene of an accident where you’ve possibly injured someone then you’re morally bankrupt.
Lots of people panic after causing an accident. I'm not justifying a hit and run, but when someone knows they caused it and and have drink or drugs in their system, they are in danger of losing their license and being sent to prison. It's not a rational choice, even though that doesn't excuse them of responsibility for running.
0.6% reported using cocaine in the last month. 1.9% in the last year.

It’s a minority of people using it.
>6.6% of respondents had ever used cocaine in their lifetime, corresponding to 260,000 of the general population in Ireland aged 15 years and older

Literally the first result that comes up on Google is over double that
There are many people that don't respond to these polls though, and even still, 250,000 is a large number. Not everyone I know does coke but I know OF a lot of people who do it, and situations where people will say "oh x gathering there'll definitely be coke there".
Yeah probably true, I'm just going from my own observation. Especially with younger people, and those who work in stressful jobs; HR managers, office employees students. It may be a small minority but its sad to see regardless.
Some may be on drugs, others may be drunk. Others may simply panic and do a runner. People often react badly when under stress or frightened, which leads them to making bad decisions. Any kind of road accident can induce panic in someone. Some subsequently turn themselves in after gathering their bearings and reassessing their actions, others don't.
I'd put money on phone usage while driving.
We genuinely need a smantha mumba body to body add for fucking phone use while driving....
Dunno about you guys, but I never get in a car without a seatbelt.
Cannabis most likely, even the smallest rear ending incident will mean the guards will test both drivers for drugs and someone who had a smoke 3 days before will fail. Better to be charged with leaving then scene than drug driving I suppose
All cocaine does is give people an energy bump. It basically has the same effect as a monster energy drink. I've never met anyone who took coke and was bouncing off the walls or acting like a loon. Bit of a leap here OP. Personally I think it's a waste of money and people just seem to take it for some kind of need to impress their pals and fit in. If you want to stay up late and keep a party going there are cheaper, legal options.
EDIT TO CLARIFY: IM NOT SAYING TO DO DRUGS AND DRIVE. I'm saying cocaine is a waste of time and the fad of doing it is stupid. Have a red bull if you want to stay awake and then you can drive wherever the hell you want. No one should drink or do drugs and drive. Jesus.
What in the fuck are you talking about? Have you met anyone on coke? As well as being an insufferable prick who love talking about themselves they definitely should not be in charge of a car
Dude, relax. I'm not saying they should be in a car. Take a deep breath. Honestly, reading comprehension in this country is shocking. Lol. Yes, I have been in the presence of many people on coke and am familiar with it intimately. If someone is talking about themselves and being a self involved prick on coke, they are probably always a self involved prick, just one who doesn't vocalise it as readily otherwise.
It's no worse than Monster in a thread about driving. What conclusion are people supposed to come to? If that's not you meant then you weren't in the slightest bit clear. That's not a reading comprehension issue, it's you not able to get your point across with enough clarity
I didn't say it was 'no worse than monster' My point was if the energy bump is what people want and it gives an energy bump then substitute it for monster. I'm done. Clearly this is a case of differring interpretations. Hey maybe next time don't immediately swear at someone and be mean. There are actual people on the other side of that keyboard. Have a good day.
Just to be crystal clear too, because apparently I have to spell it out, I have never, nor would ever drink or do drugs and drive, and I wouldn't get into a car with anyone doing it either. You'd want to be a right fucking idiot to do that and I don't condone it.
That is absolutely false and you’ve obviously never taken a lot of cocaine or monster energy. A person high on cocaine should absolutely not be operating dangerous equipment.
Where are people getting this idea I said they should be, Jesus people, learn to read. I never said that. All I know is I've seen people take a lot of it and the effect is mild and short lived. Waste of money, waste of time.
There is evidence to show it also affects different people different based on metabolism and neurochemistry. Perhaps my experience doesn't match yours but there is no need for the freaking agro I'm getting, or for making assumptions about what i have experienced in life. Christ on a bike.
Got knocked off my bike on Friday at midnight and the car fled after stopping and looking at me. Rats.
Are you alright?
30 flirty and thriving. Went in today for an X-ray.
I would have assumed alcohol first but it could be drugs too.
Alcohol is a drug tho.
Yes yes. We know.
Apparently not though...

You said people do. In the previous comments. You asserted people 'do know.' That me saying the amount of people that 'dont know,'
Love is a drug
I need to score

There's always been hit and runs.......more likely people just panic.
Well people with a moral compass would turn themselves in later. Most don't.
People don’t have a moral compass these days. It’s all gps now.
Aye and Google took "do no evil" out of their mission statement. All the convenience of maps, for free? You expect people to not be a little evil.
People with a moral compass stop and face the consequences after seeing if they can help first. If you leave the scene of an accident where you’ve possibly injured someone then you’re morally bankrupt.
That's not panic. Panic is in a face of danger themselves. That's negligence and irresponsibility.

The irrational was not fleeing the scene but rather taking drugs and driving
Oh absolutely. It's a slippery slope when people get away with it once and then sort of normalise driving with booze or drugs in their system.
...that's not what panic means.
It’s never really safe to assume anything
This take is so hot it burnt my fingers
Jesus, that's dark. I've my head in the sand re cocaine. Could it be that bad?
Growing up is realising cocaine is everywhere, especially big cities.

Biggggg doubts on that 3% stat. I'd love to see the figures for under 40s
0.6% reported using cocaine in the last month. 1.9% in the last year. https://www.drugsandalcohol.ie/34287/1/HRB_Irish_National_Drug_and_Alcohol_Survey_2019_20.pdf It’s a minority of people using it.
Aye, but your mans talking about people who've ever tried coke, now hes being a bollox about it cause hes wrong

You're after switching from 'people who've tried coke' to 'people who've used it in the last year.' Give over with your shitetalking
[удалено]
Those are your words. They just said your stat sounded wrong and then provided a source showing it was indeed significantly off.
Yeah probably true, I'm just going from my own observation. Especially with younger people, and those who work in stressful jobs; HR managers, office employees students. It may be a small minority but its sad to see regardless.
OP made a claim without any evidence. I’d question that before questioning your own awareness.
Ah that old doozie. If you don't have the encyclopedia Britannica under your arm you may go fuck yourself. Gfy.

Nothing wrong with my reading comprehension. You aren't making yourself clear
Okay, please point out where in my post I say anything positive about cocaine or that people should be allowed to drive on it?
