Answer: Brake abruptly while jamming his head into the passenger side dashboard.
Better answer: Pull over and get your friend and the dope out of your car immediately – the only exception: the friend can stay, if the dope gets dumped immediately out of your car. Why? You can be arrested for “constructive possession” even if you are NOT the one holding the drugs. It is only required for your conviction of this crime, that the drugs be “within” your “reach and proximity,” and that you had “knowledge” of the presence of the drugs, and “knowledge” of the “illicit” nature of the contraband, period.
It is NOT required for your conviction that you touched the drugs, or that you tried to use the drugs, or that you intended to use the drugs. Two things are also possible even for the person who does NOT do drugs: either your friend is working with the police in an undercover capacity (after an earlier arrest), and you are being inappropriately set up, or at a minimum, your drug-possessed friend is putting YOU at risk of arrest on a charge of constructive possession.
