I will always put driving under the influence as a bigger crime than speeding. There had to be minimal traffic for A.P. to get up to 109mph, he just got caught out in the open and he is only putting himself in danger. Now people that drive under the influence, when they get into an accident they seem to always walk away while the victim is the person that gets hurt or killed.

Although I don’t minimize the dangers in going 100 mph, I’ve driven 100 mph before (on a rental) and was in control the whole time. I drove under the influence of marijuana once. That was enough. I was tripping and doing dumb stuff on the road (and, when young, I was a heavy weed smoker, so that wasn’t new to me).

nothing surprises me anymore man

I think its both risky. You don’t really have absolute control of either. Even if you’re sober, if you’re speeding you can predict how the car will react. You could move the steering wheel a certain way and that could cause you to crash just as if you were under the influence.

I have to weigh in on this b/c not only do I smoke while driving, I also drive a high powered luxury vehicle, not quite a 7 series but close enough. In no way do I advocate smoking weed and driving at the same time, what I will say is that for experienced smoker/drivers 9 times out of ten nothing will happen. B/C weed slows down ur reaction time, it also makes you drive slower. If you read the Nas story he got caught in a routine traffic stop, he wasn’t speeding or breaking any traffic laws. If I had to guess he was probably driving under the speed limit. But as I said before it does slow down your reaction time, so if something like a deer, little kid, yellow cone etc. suddenly appears in the street if you’re high its going to be more difficult to avoid hitting the person or item.
As far as A.P. is concerned 109 in a 7series feels like 50 in a regular car, these high end cars are so supercharged and powerful you could hit a buck w/o even noticing. Especially on the highway. I will say however that if something darts out in front the vehicle or even if you hit a pothole it’s almost impossible to control that car at those speeds and avoid having an horrific accident. So I would have to say based on my personal experience that driving at 109mph is a lot worse than driving under the influence of Marijuana. Drunk Driving is worse than both and is something I don’t advocate at all. ZERO TOLERANCE!

neither. i have done both. doing 145mph in my cuz Lex but ran outta straight road. But i KNEW city cops/HWY Patrol dont frequent that road at all at the time i was speeding.

I got stopped at a guard gate and got popped for a DWI. Id rather get that ticket to be honest. bc getting a DUI/DWI (there is a big diff between the two) has major repercussions on your life, insurance etc. the ticket is a big fine and maybe some points on your license. but that damn DUI/DWI does both and possibly suspension/revocation of said license, hefty fines, court costs etc. With that being said, gimme that ticket!!!! ALL DAY LONG!

my mad about the DUI/DWI. but i have driven high b4. and was paraniod and driving slow as hell!!!!!! but i had visine(sp) and
glade plug-ins for the car IF i did get stopped WHEN i was driving while high. im really not sure what the trouble i coulda got into when i was high if i got caught. probably woulda got a tongue lashing from my family and some kinda fine from the officer on-seen.

so i guess ive done all three then……. Im a bad boy..

Nas was never charged with DUI…charges dropped! State of GA drug testing came back negative for all drugs and alcohol! The cops were really f’ing with Nas!!!

Marijuana is the opposite as driving while drunk . Most people have enough sense and won’t drive because they know they are too stoned .

With Alcohol you will drive and make no sense because you are drunk .

With Alcohol you’ll drive recklessly if drunk .

With Marijuana you will usually drive slow and carefully .

But , i don’t recommend ever driving under the influence of Weed because you could be too cautious and do something stupid trying to be careful like stop at a green light or something .

They are opposites .
