They Are Like Buses...

...they come along two at a time:
A “devoted" dad was tragically killed when a BMW driver who had taken a cocktail of drugs crashed into his van. Stefan Hayles, 30, had been on his way to work when John Butterworth’s car drifted across Folkestone Road in Dover, causing a head-on collision.

A 'cocktail' of drugs? Oh, yes, Reader, it seems to be rife in this part of the world: 

An inquest heard last week that Mr Butterworth, who also died in the crash, had more than 100 times the permitted level of methamphetamine in his system when he got behind the wheel.

And the rest? 

He was also 16 times the limit for THC – the major psychoactive component of cannabis – and he also had benzoylecgonine, the metabolite formed in the liver after using cocaine, in his system.

It's a wonder he could open the driver's side door, never mind start the engine...

  1. What’s the permitted driving level for methamphetamine? Asking for a friend.

  2. Whilst the use of such drugs is now almost common everywhere, within 'certain communities' it is almost de rigeur.

    'Just wondering' if he was 'one of those'? (Hmm, long history of drug use and dealing yet still free to re-offend. Asked and answered, as someone of a complexion and community that should 'I' dare buy too many paracetamol can guarantee at least a decade in pokey).

    😂

    "'Just wondering' if he was 'one of those'? "

    Probably not. It seems to be equally as common in chav society too.
