DRIVING on pills

Last friday dispite deciding never to do it i drove my friends home from a club whilest pilled up. I found driving on E to be just like playing play station. There was no fear of crashing at all and frankly I was so alert I think i drove much better than normal. But at 2.30 in the morning and with 4 people in the back if Id run into any police cars I would have without any doubt been stopped. Does anyone know what powers the police have? I would have easily passed a breath test but one look at my pupils and they would have known I was on extacy. Also does anyone know if driving on pills is even dangerouse? Where I live is a very heafty taxi fair from the nearest clubs and I dont know anywhere within walking distance to crash.
Anyone got any advise?

I was commenting on how sensible people seemed, despite the young ages on this. Your perceptions and functioning are altered...u may feel more in control but u don't know if that's real or not. And every e is different. Please everyone - look after yourselves and others on the road. U have the energy 2 walk...USE IT!
I'm not trying 2 nag, but this is really important.
Although confident when driving pilled up I often lose sight of the road. I can't always make out bends or I see bends that arn't there. Another common trip out I often have is seeing road go straight up towards the sky or seeing nothing but a black hole where the roas should be.
One of my mates once, was driving us back from an event about 25 miles from where we lived. I knew he was fucked but didn't realise to what extent until he snuggled back into his seat closed is eyes and put his head back. The rest of us freaked out and managed to get him to pull over before he crashed. In the end I ended up driving his car back!
Not worth doing really and please don't believe that you were a better driver on 'em cos you blatently aint.
A weekend wasted, is not a wasted weekend! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/nogood.gif">
This may seem like a rediculusly stupid question but is driving on pills illigal? And if so it would require a blood test to prove it and they can only force you to give a blood test with permision from the courts I think.

Yes it is illegal to drive whilst on drugs and they can take a blood test if they want as it can be pretty obvious when ur nutted out ur tree. As far as I know they can also find out if you have from your nail clippings as they can contain the chemicals or up to 6 months that is also including weed. SO just dont do it its not smart and not cool just get a taxi or get someone else to drive that dosent take them or drink. Take care and keep it real.
Just last friday I went to a club and got pilled up. The 2 pills i took seemed to be pretty weak if you ask me. It took a long time for me to feel something and when i did it wasnt as great as i had hoped.
Anyway despite their weakness.. after the club closed down for the night i went out to my car and started to drive home... Well this club closed at 4:00am which is kinda early so i decided to drive around and enjoy my roll a little more. Well i drove around for a while and did just fine untill i was on the last road that leads to my house.
All of the sudden im in the grass, so i jerk the wheel to the left and im spinin around in the road. THANK GOD there was no cops or anyone around for that matter. It was real dead out, i only saw 5 or 6 cars in the 3 hours i was driving around lol.
I don't remember dozing off, all i remember is jerking the wheel and spinning around in the road. It scared me to fucking death believe me.
I wont ever tell this to anyone that i know in real life because they will probably KILL ME! But please use my experience to your advantage.
It definately scared me enough to NEVER DO IT AGAIN. I feel like im living on overtime or something. But I know I am alright now and that I will not be that fucking stupid again. hehehe
peace
I dont think any research has been done as to if its dangerous or not so people saying it is are just stating their opinion. To be honest though most police would take an Im tired excuse for fucked eyes, but if they really wanted to they could take you for a blood test which would reveal all and you'd be fucked.
Infact a survey was done by an independant org. a couple of years ago that was reported in detail in Mixmag magazine. All the drivers came out worse on drugs such as E, Puff, Speed, Alcohol and Acid. The only one that actually improved driving was coke but it is still dangerous cos it apparently it makes you over confident when driving.
The police would definately not accept a 'Im tired excuse'. When people are pilled up it dilates their eyes, in other words it makes them look like two piss holes in the snow. You might get dilated eyes or gurn when your tired but most normal people don't! :d

Scary thought.
so may that be a lesson to you all
two lovedups? We're gonna get mixed up all the time....
female yeah, but I think our pint drinking skills rule us out of being classed as laydees.
And driving while pilled up is stupid. You might think you're fine at the time but I wouldn't get in a car with any of my mates if they where driving on E. I'd rather walk.
