do you copy.... we have a 10-38 in progress

[Silver]

SO!!!! just a quick story of how i got pulled over 3 times in one day because of vaping KINDA!!

I had to leave the vape meet and pick my little sister up who's car had just broken down and on my way to here i see these two cops on the other side of the road, this was near rosebank side. maaaaan i looked that cop straight in the eyes and blew a cloud that would've left Yusuf in Awe. and bam the sirens go one and we are pulled over. Where's the dagga, where's the drugs. my brother and i burst into laughter which makes us look even more suspicious. but hey after searching my car and finding too many empty bottles that smelled waaaay to good and one bottle that had joy and inw biscuit in they finally asked what is this and so we explained vaping to them and they were quite chilled after that.

about 2km later BAM!!!! metro cops this time.... so i tell my brother go go go hotbox time while blowing clouds in a car with all air circulation gone. obviously when they couldn't see the drivers face because of all the clouds they decide to pull us over. i open that window and that mothers milk hit that cop so hard in the face he just smiled like DAMN thats good. funny enough he knew about vaping and actually asked quite a few questions none of which included why my seatbelt wasnt on or why my license disk was expired. after a quick vape chat we were on the road again.

later that evening i was on the way to roodepoort and this time i was all alone and vaping quite conservatively, which obviously didnt mean less clouds because once again the blue lights go on and im pulled over for another search this time im in a foul mood due to the fact that i really needed to pee. however after the search the guy was like wow you must spend alot of money on this stuff and i was free to go.

So i propose a game this weekend everytime you see a cop start blowing the biggest clouds ever and lets see how many times you get searched. lol.

Hi @Nicholas
Glad your story had a good outcome.

Two things bud

1) Please don't obstruct your vision with your vape clouds while driving. Rather open a window and blow out to the side

2) Wear your seatbelt

We have a few police officers on this forum - and I don't think wasting their time with fun and games is a good idea - especially in this country.

If you obstruct your vision with vape clouds and, for a split second, you are not able to control your vehicle properly - then in my view you should not be on the road. Period.

Been T-boned by a Prado at an intersection. I don't know what the main reason was (maybe the guy was texting - hell, maybe he was even vaping) - but that changed the next year of my wife's life. And it was a very very painful experience for her. Major surgery and the loss of an organ. Not nice. PM me if you want more details.

So please think before doing "fun things" while driving. You may just injure yourself - or even worse - someone else.

Hey Bud @Silver no need to worry i'm really not that much of a kak driver i'm always safe. lost some friends in a car accident 2 years back and my car was written off last year because of a drunk driver so i'm not one to be stupid. i always have my windows and sunroof open while vaping. i definitely dont agree with any irresponsible driving at all

secondly i dont want anyone to be messing with our cops. i was just being funny. although i really do want to know if people experience being searched because of vaping.

Instructions not clear.... Does anyone have bail money?

 

[SSSSMARCUSSSSS]

Although a real concern to me is that a vape could easily look like a gun.... i mean i was in town and some guy try to take my phone so i went for my vape... he ran so fast i just laughed.

now atleast our cops aren't as trigger happy as american cops but like imagine you get pulled over and lean over to reach for your vape and a cop mistakes it for a gun?

Its all fun and games till someone gets hurt.

Very irresponsible suggetions. A car is not a playpen, especially when you driving, and endangering other peoples lives.

At the very least you'll be giving vapers a bad name, and because you thought you were funny with a police officer I could be the guy he takes his frustrations out on with my family in my car.

Agreed. I've seen hundreds of dead people (including children) all because of something the driver could have avoided. (Believe me, scraping a persons brains from the tarmac with a broken piece from a number plate is not the kind of thing you forget.....)

I am against "having fun" in a vehicle while driving. Any distraction is potentially deadly, (even vaping, drinking a Coke or having a smoke).

Driving a vehicle is a MASSIVE responsibility! You may not have your family in your vehicle, but the person next to you might!

Anyway, I believe that @Nicholas was just playin' and no offense taken from my side. I am not a "SAPS Police man" as such, but there was a comment about "pigs" which I really didn't appreciate........ Anyway let me rather not go into that.... I honestly don't have a lot of respect for people who call law enforcers pigs.

EDIT: I have to add here, that I am STRONGLY opposed against bribery. I even get p!ssed off at people when I hear that they had paid a bribe. Officers asking for bribes needs to be reported, arrested and CHARGED. Corruption is a sickness in this Country that needs to die!

Well said @Clouder

This topic is very important in my opinion

Stay safe
