Some of the numbers surrounding drug driving are staggering: one in 20 fatalities on the roads is said to be caused by someone driving under the influence of narcotics, while some police forces have caught twice the number of people for drug-driving than drink driving in a given year. Consume a hallucinogen or stimulant, meanwhile, and your decision-making skills can become wildly unpredictable and unsuitable all of these scenarios are potentially lethal. If you take an opiate, for example, you may fall asleep behind the wheel.

How different drugs affect your driving can vary based both on how you react to the drugs, and what they are. We all know how dangerous drink-driving is, and the same goes for drug driving.īut while it has been several decades since drink driving became both socially unacceptable and policed with roadside breath tests, it has only been in the seven years or so since drug-drive laws were both toughened up, and policed with roadside tests. However, the 500 horsepower is surely enough for the department's uses.UK drug driving laws are strict, and the consequences of breaking them can be both severe and tragic we explain all Unfortunately, the red key, which unlocks the 707 horsepower, is in a secret location known only by the Sheriff and a select few others. However, the Sheriff still makes regular patrols and even takes it out for community outreach. It may seem a little ridiculous to think of a Hellcat as a cop car, especially since they are usually used for the exact opposite. We're glad that the department is taking considerable action to spread the word about the dangers of addiction and drug abuse. The car boasts lots of light and sirens and even sports a sticker on the hood which reads “seized from a drug dealer” which speaks to the department's dedication to public safety and spreading the message that drug addiction could result in you losing everything. In what is quite possibly the best ironic 'screw you' moment of the century, the 707-horsepower Hellcat was converted into a police vehicle. When the police finally caught the guy, they learned about the vehicle’s involvement and immediately impounded it. Originally this car was owned by a drug dealer who was using the car to sell and distribute one of the vilest and destructive chemicals on the market, heroin. Not only is the vehicle an incredible symbol and way to reach out to the younger people in the community, but it's also a very effective fun patrol vehicle and comes with all of the police fix-ins. For the longest time car culture and the police have been at odds with each other, thankfully that seems to be changing for the better. While the new vehicle may not be for everyone on the force to drive, the car still serves its purpose as a symbol of the community. This Hellcat got impounded after YouTube watchers snitched on the owner, see why. Unfortunately, for one drug dealer, that seems to have changed for a little-known officer in Marion County Sheriff’s department in Florida. In an age when the roads are populated by Supercharged 700-horsepower hellcats, even the famous 5.7-liter V8 Hemi AWD Charger cop cars can’t keep up.

Recently, when it comes to cars, the cops have been getting their butts kicked.

They need something to chase down all the stolen Dodges!
