How is taking drugs and then driving a "mistake"?

It's a small misdemeanour which most don't give a **** about. You smoke weed don't you?

Can't stand the stuff since I last took some in 1982.

I take it you're not clever enough of a cyclist to answer my question on purple feet?

The article you posted explains it all.

No, it only explains the increased vein size, they don't mention the feet. Why would his feet go purple unless there's a severe lack of circulation there?

Should we all report Simon for this? After all, it's against the law. And Simon agrees with every single law being adhered to the letter.

I smoked some in Amsterdam legally.

Ok I take it back, you really are an OCD twit.

It stated that pro cyclists have more blood in their bodies and it tends to pool in the feet.

Surely purple blood isn't good? That's a sign of no oxygen. And his feet only go purple when cycling, which is surely when the blood is being used elsewhere?

So you believe 140 is safe, yet you refuse to do so here just because of a rule?

I would be banned if I was caught driving at 140mph here.

Like you said, there are offences in certain countries that are perfectly legal in others.

Dashcams, taking drugs, driving alcohol limits, speed limits, gun laws, motorcycle helmets, hanging and many more.

Then do what I do and go 98. And use a satnav to tell you where cameras are likely to be.

My point is you follow the rules [1] to the letter, instead of deciding for yourself what you believe is correct.

[1] I call them rules because a law is something that cannot be broken - like the law of gravity. What the government makes are rules, you're not supposed to break them, but you certainly can.

When I refer to laws of humans I use a small 'l'. When they are Laws of
Physics, I use a capital 'L'.
