YABVVVU...... I agree with Mrs Kitty Fane- you cannot possibly know for sure and tbh it really is not your business.

But thanks, I'd never heard of a jollyfag until today!!! I live in South London and quite frankly, OP if you lived here you would see plenty of people driving with jollyfags.....

Live and let live I say.........

Surely you have more important things to worry about in life than this??!

I must live a gilded life as, actually, I don't.

I have to say I find this sort of mindset slightly odd. It just wouldn't occur to me to dash about 'reporting' people for things like this.

Yabu, but am loving 'jollyfag' - how Outraged of Tunbridge Wells!
Am going to steal and pass off as my own forthwith.

'Darling...would you mind terribly rolling me a jollyfag...there's a brick!'

OMFG I absolutely cannot believe that so many people think that driving while smoking a spliff is fine . Whenever I've smoked pot there is absolutely no way I would have been fit to drive.

Furthermore it is illegal under s4 of the RTA and is taken as seriously as drink drive by the court.

YADNBU

Has it been proven beyond reasonable doubt that it WAS a bloody spliff? Or are we just jumping to conclusions because we've been polishing our genes today? Holy smoke.....sometimes can't believe what I read here!

OP YABU. YAB a stickybeak. YAB a tell tale tit. YAB a complete knob.

That is all.

She didn't know it was a spliff though.

If you suspect it was drugs - then yes, report it. My DH is often called to do drug tests on drivers who have crashed - he thinks he's seeing fewer drink drivers, and more drug drivers in the last few years (as people think it is ok to take drugs and drive, but drinking and driving has become unacceptable). Both affect your driving in the same way and people can die as a result.

Lentilly, members of the public don't have to prove things beyond reasonable doubt to report them to the police, they just need to have a reasonable suspicion that the law is being broken - it's up to the police to investigate :)

Can you imagine the conversation,

PC What can i do for you?
OP Well i want to report something
PC what are the details
OP I saw someone smoking a roll up in a van.
PC

Mwahahaaa!

ABAT.... if you supply the police with the car/van reg number and tell them you think the driver is driving under the influence of drugs, they will investigate in the same way as if you report a suspected drink driver.

Just another voice to say: my partner and I have been known to share a roll-up in the car. And even when we don't share, he'll roll one, light it, smoke a puff or two, hand it to me, and then maybe roll another for himself. You can see us do it every time we get in the car because it's too dangerous to drive and roll your own at the same time.

I wasn't going to report to the police. I was going to mention what I saw to my friend's friend as this driver is WELL KNOWN to indulge in jollyfags - I just thought she might like the headsup as it is her van that is potentially in danger and it is inappropriate to be taking drugs whilst at work. Surely she, as his employer, has the right to this knowledge. But as I've been totally battered on here - I have decided against it, obviously me not being a telltale tit is more important than his blatant disregard to safe working practices. Ffs.

"'Darling...would you mind terribly rolling me a jollyfag...there's a brick!'"
Ha, ha, ha, love it.

Oh its so Animal Farm, so 1984.
lets dob someone in for something petty, and make ourselves look a prat, in the process.

Love it. Oh this is MN at its best.

OP seems to have missed the obvious. She has nothing to report, because she has no EVIDENCE. so she saw a roll up. yeah? and? and you KNOW this particular one, was a spliff rather than a nomral roll up, do you ?
Errr no. You don't. Do you?
END OF.

You are a lot bit daft if you are so sure you are doing the right thing why would you listen to strangers on a forum, if we all insisted you needed to pay us for our posts would you do it?

PETTY? driving while at work while stoned? That's not Fucking petty.

Oh so now you know for a fact they were stoned? I thought you just saw them with a roll up?

If a jollyfag is meant to be a spliff, then I wonder what jolly hockey sticks actually are

No obviously I would tell friends friend what I saw.. Leave her to draw own opinion.

Getting sweary because you're just so wrong is a clear indicator that you actually know you're being twatty. Just own it. You're being twatty.

Jollyfag? Jollyfag with wackybaccy or merry jawanna in?

Were they smoking, laughing and gobbling chocolates?

Never, in all my years on mn have I seen an op in more dire need of being passed a j.

oh it's just you said you decided against it.
