    Random stops you are free to walk away from have successfully done it myself. Due to the hours and how I look I get stopped a lot. Now it's for less than 30 seconds usually. Unless very persistent haha.

    You're right, it is so much better to be on foot TBH from a retaining anonymity and a not getting involved point of view. The road traffic act is a real power that coppers have an can abuse how they see fit. The right to stop you for any reason, don't even need to say "your brake light was out" I think in the US there is such a thing as an illegal stop - you guys should be thankful

    I guess its just about keeping on the down low and blending in to the average

    Hey guys just thought I would share my experience with drug tests and licenses .. I lost my job couple of months back due to a shady investigation but I’ll keep it brief.. forklift driver .. smoke on average 14 grams a week apparently had more THC levels than the test could read so just showed + 100mg of THC per litre of blood .. anyhow my argument was I smoke in my free time not in the 12 hours a slave I’m signed up too but they were having none of it claiming I was currently intoxicated ..while being in the work place but what ever ... apparently if my THC levels were below 35mg they would have accepted my story of smoking in my free time but because my habit is so big lol landed me in the shit .. owel been 5 months now and still jobless .. hate to say it but I am loving it lol

    That's a lot of THC mate. Seems fairly decent that they have a threshold though

    Sorry for bumping an old thread but as someone fairly new to driving this has been playing on my mind.

    I'm sure we all know about how traces of cannabis stay in our system for quite a long period of time due to it being fat soluble. So we are in a pretty shitty situation regarding drug tests. As someone who smokes frequently and quite heavily, there is always cannabis in my system and I worry that I could fail a drug test despite not having smoked that day.

    There's great advice posted above about not giving them a reason to ever pull you over but I wanted to hear more people's experiences.

    Anybody passed a roadside test despite being a pot head having smoked recently?

    Anybody been banned and wants to share their perspective/experience?

    AFAIK the UK roadside drug test is a swab test that only tests for THC rather than metabolites like urine does....

    So does that mean you'd pass or fail the roadside test I'd you had a smoke the day before?

    The advertising and info released isn't very clear, so far I've not heard of anyone being done but they've not started pulling people randomly yet in my area although I'm sure they'll start doing it soon with the run up to Xmas and Nye the way they do for drink driving

    Here those roadside swabs are deemed inaccurate last i heard . Theyll still use them and if they get a hit . Theyll send you for a sobriety test . And may e blood tests afterwards who knows . Fucking laws are rediculous .
