Drug driving

Heres a story that you might well see as justice served.

My long term friend who is a successful builder smokes a few joints everyday, very low level weed, hes been doing it for 45 years and owns quite a property portfolio.

It doesnt seem to effect him in any obvious way, but eventually his time has come and he was pulled over, mouthswab, arrested, good news for cyclists, but on the other hand he still uses a Nokia dumbphone and doesnt text, so no runing over bikers while Whatsapping.

He spends the night in the city Victorian police station, we'll be in touch...

So he gets the train home, picks up his van ,driving to his house, blue lights, pull over, mouthswab ...arrested again.

Turns out it can be detected for up to a week!!!

How did you know I was driving?

They put your reg into the roadside camera network after drug conviction, it pops up on the traffic cops screen, he was nearby, followed a tracking beacon from licence plate detection.

Couldnt you have told me this..to not drive?

Its a bit of a grey area, we are not obliged to.

Two drug offences, looking at three year ban on the books.

Im like, I was in your van whike you were smoking last month!
