I've driven after drinking (and been nailed for it, even though-thankfully-no accident) and have driven semi-stoned. BELIEVE ME: You are so much more careful after smoking and somewhat more paranoid than after drinking, that the biggest problem is probably drawing attention attention to yourself by being TOO careful. Of course I'm not talking being blitzed out of your mind in either case; just a little social over-indulgence.

He knew that the cops were behind him, so he was driving VERY carefully. He stopped at every light on time, and made completely full stops at stop signs. When he was pulled over, the cop asked him, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" My friend said, "No officer, I don't think I was doing anything wrong, and I know that all of my lights work." The cop responded, " I wanted to see the face of the guy with such perfect balance as to not have his feet on the ground, while completely stopped on a motorcycle!"

Talk about driving carefully!
