Did anyone else get a horribly crashed car delivered to their high school as a visual warning?
Yep pirus ripped in two, burnt shell of its former self, one half was placed in the common area, the other about 40ft away, where it ended up in the wreck. Drunk driver in town was speeding and lost control, spun into a tree front half stopped, second half didn’t. The passenger in the back seat dead, back half of the car clipped a second vehicle paralyzing its driver. Drunk driver, walked away. To hammer the point they put a picture of where the wreck was, two miles down the road
Yes, they have been doing that off and on for at least 50 years.
Yup
Oh yeah! Complete with actors out of the car "bleeding" road side
Yep. Homecoming, prom, new years. Yep.
30 year Paramedic here. These are hard to watch, but they SHOULD be. It’s even harder to see in real life, and all of us have seen too many. I’m retired now, but I still see versions of these every time I close my eyes. It never really leaves. Just grab a ride, it’s not worth the cost. Stop destroying lives.
Every year in high school (many years ago), we were shown a movie called “Red Asphalt”, that showed actual footage of accident scenes and aftermath. Driver education courses aren’t taught in high school anymore, resulting in less educated, unaware and unsafe drivers.
My sister was killed by a drunk driver when she was 8 years old. She didn't die right away she was in a vegetative state for 8 years and we had to feed her baby food, exercise her arms and legs, and give her medication through a syringe. She died just a few days before her 16th birthday because the muscles in her neck and her swallowing portions of her throat quit working. I was 5 when she was hit by the car and I was 12 when she died. My Mom worked nights, second shift, so when I got home from school my sister Connie was my responsibility. She died on my watch and I blamed myself for her death for many years. I am 60 now and I understand more about why she died but it was a heavy burden to place on a 12-year-old to care for my invalid sister. Drinking and driving hurts the lives of many people not just the ones involved in the accident. Families are hurt. This happened in the late 60's so the drunk driver didn't face a penalty. I never understood why. I'm not too fond of alcohol especially those who drink and drive.
My sincerest condolences. Shockingly enough most of the DUI laws we have today as well as vehicle safety regulations came about after the turn of the century. I grew up in the 80s, they were just starting to require wearing seatbelts, the cars were still very rigid so both the occupants of the cars involved in an accident as well as any pedestrians struck were injured far more, and the drinking age was 18 until 1984. The blood alcohol level it took to be legally drunk was 0.15 when states started introducing DUI laws in the late 30s, it didn't really change again until the 60s when it started to be lowered to 0.10 and it didn't become 0.08 until 2000. Also because this is a state-by-state thing, some states made drunk driving totally illegal from the beginning and others really didn't do much until the late 70s early 80s. If the state didn't have strict drunk driving laws it might have been treated the same as if the person wasn't drunk.
@@MannyBrum thank you
My parents' car wreck was used as one of the first drunk driving billboards. They were more lucky than the guy who was at fault. Its just not worth it. Call a cab or crash on a couch.
Those were brutal! But I think somethings need to be brutal and when it comes to things like drunk driving, they need to be brutal. It's such a problem around the world and people need to see the risk they're taking.
Those stop, look and listen animations were like if Tim Burton did Dr. Seuss. 😂
In over 35 years of driving, I have never driven drunk. I believe this is because I realized really early in life that driving is very dangerous. I always thought that drivers were crazy and that even the most professional drivers cannot control what other drivers do or how they will react. This is why I am a defensive driver and as such it is impossible to be a defensive driver after drinking. Another reason is that if the cops smell alcohol on my breath after an accident, I am legally responsible for the entire accident under the law. Who wants to trust other drivers on the road? I do not! Thus I never drive after drinking at all.
We got a film called, 'I'm Only Seventeen.' The protaganist was a dead 17 year old who repeated over and over again 'I'm only 17' as the police discover the mangled car...the coroner declares him dead...the autopsy...and finally the funeral. It was awful, but it made an impact. I saw it in the 60's and still remember it.
When I was in high school, the drivers ed class showed very gory movies of actual dead people on scene of crashes. Some can still be viewed on YT. They are heartbreaking and quite shocking. I believe they were filmed some time during the 1950s.... so sad this type of thing continues. xo
I was an X-Ray tech in a small county hospital and have personally cared for many car accident victims both alive and dead. Two that still haunt me were both deaths. One man was so mutilated for lack of a better word that even though he had his driver's license with him he wasn't recognizable. His brother had to identify him by a tattoo he had on his forearm. A drunk driver hit him head on while he was on s motorcycle.
The other was a hit and run of an 11 year old boy. He was found in the ditch between the road and some train tracks. The only way he was found was because his leg was sticking up out of the ditch and could be seen. Thankfully, a cop had stopped a drunk driver less than a mile down the road and noticed damage and blood on the right front quarter panel just before the boy was found so the man got caught. Another reason I wss so terrified about the boy was he got hit less than a mile from my sister's house and he looked just like my 11 year old nephew. I called my sister to make sure my nephew was home because they looked so much alike and the boy had no ID.
These are brutal. They need to be shown more.
I ever enjoy watching your videos I lost my dad last year I stay strong every day 💪🏿💙
I am 65 now but grew up in Northern California and my father was a California Highway Patrol officer, (CHP). We received monthly CHP magazines with graphic accidents portrayed including graphic photos. My father never sheltered us from these images as we grew up and used them as examples of what can happen. Once I became an adult he shared the accidents that kept him awake at night.
When I was 5yr old my mom picked me up from the babysitter that was literally less than a mile away. I was asleep at the babysitters so I immediately fell back asleep in the car. I was in the front seat without a seat belt on. All I remember my whole body in excruciating pain, not able to see anything and not able move. Then a cop pulling me out of the window, when he carried away I still remember seeing our car full of smoke, the front of the car was ripped off and a light blue pick-up truck on fire.
This is where the story gets weird. Since I wasn't wearing a seat belt and curled up on the seat I was thrown down into the floorboard and I got lodged down there so I couldn't move and the hood of the truck ended up going through the windshield, if I was wearing a seat belt and sitting up that hood would of took my head off. The only injuries I had was bruises to my arms, chest, a fractured skull and my entire face was black and blue. My mom had 2 broken wrist and a broken nose and cheek bone, maybe more I can't remember.
The guy in the truck was drunk and the police think he was doing 50mph in a 25mph road. He then swerved into our lane around a curve. But the problem was not only was the driver of the truck drunk but my mom was also drunk. The reason I was at the babysitter was because my mom was going to her friend's b-day party.
My mom became a major alcoholic soon after that. After 2 failed attempts at a rehab she later died fairly young from Cirrhosis of the liver. I always told myself I would never drink but after my last deployment to Iraq are started drinking then soon after I was having extreme lower back pain and abdominal pain so I was drinking even more to numb the pain. Turns I had Renal cancer, after the surgery to remove a kidney I didn't have any pain. So I just stopped drinking cold turkey. Which I don't recommend because it was the worst experience I ever had. If you're a alcoholic then don't wait or put it off till next month, go get help.
Ever since I stopped drinking every time I smell alcohol I get extremely nauseous, even mouthwash will make me sick.
The only commercial similar to those I remember was during driver's ed. It showed people at the funeral of a girl; in the flashback, it showed her and another boy driving from prom when they got into an accident, and she was killed. The commercial was about what could happen if we don't wear seatbelts.
I was a Trauma nurse for 34 yrs. I saw sooo much in that time. Permanent injuries, death, you name it. And so many times, the very drunk drivers came in and didn’t even realize what had happened. More than a few times, it was my displeasure to inform them that they had been in a traffic accident. Most of the time they never inquired if anybody else had been injured, let alone killed.
I'm from Scotland but currently in the US for work & I swear I see 3 or 4 of these every morning on the news, which is bad enough, but on holiday recently, a drunk driver killed a mum & baby on the main road through this town which was front of my house. "Bloody idiot" isn't strong enough at all. And no, you don't see these in the US, but I wish they did. These need to be seen so desperately. Thanks for sharing mate!
Hi Kabir, in Louisiana, when I was younger, the state would put cars that had been badly wrecked( head-on collisions, rear ended, rolled over etc..) along the highways and intersections, during holiday seasons. I don't know if they're still doing it.
I live in the United States. While I can drive. I don't due to really bad anxiety while driving. I'd rather not putting myself or anyone else in danger by driving. I totaled a friend's minivan while practicing driving in December 2021. I was in a mostly empty parking lot. I am 32 and I definitely get ridiculed for choosing not to drive. I have been hit by 2 cars while walking as a pedestrian. Once in December 2016. And last year on December 27, 2023. Both were hit and runs. I live in Kentucky where the statute of limitations are a year for hit and runs . So the police have 6 more months to find the elderly man who hit me.
When I was a teenager, we weren't allowed to do a lot of stuff, our church youth group, but they did let us check out these films from the library for driver's ed. (So, yeah, we could watch "films" but not "movies", rolling my eyes.) These films were no longer used because they were deemed "too graphic", put on the shelf in the library since the late 60's. So, it was the early 80's, and keep in mind there are shows and movies that Gen X watched as kids which absolutely traumatized us to this day, and those shows and movies were absolutely meant for children. These films were interviews of first hand accounts of police officers and paramedics, asking them for their worst case stories involving speeding and driving under the influence (and people who were under the influence and speeding.) Stories about girlfriends found at the scene holding their boyfriend's decapitated head and sobbing uncontrollably, a girl who was so chewed up and attached to her vehicle that all the cop could do was hold her while the ambulance was on the way while she bled out, and her last words were "please don't tell my mom I was drinking, I promised her I wouldn't." And so on. Let's just say, you can learn from stories, or you can be lead role in a cautionary tale. But you can't do both. Choose wisely.
I had a friend who learned stop, look, and listen the hard way. He lived next to a highway and his mom had told him he wasn't allowed to cross it because the speed limit there was 50 mph. His best friend was a troublemaker though, and convinced him one day to cross the highway anyway.
So his bestie crosses first and then my friend tries to follow behind, except he runs right out in front of an SUV. Luckily he survived with minimal injury, but his mom was suuuuuuuper pissed at him for disobeying.
The lady that hit him felt awful and visited him in the hospital. She brought him this humongous basket of chocolate candy, none of which he could eat because he was allergic to chocolate lol. Poor woman felt awful all over again.
We used to have many more psa concerning dui, but not so much anymore. They are very effective because they are hard to watch.
I'm going to have 9 years of nightmares from watching this.
SMALL STORY TIME:: That American one with the girl who has had 40 surgery and her life is basically over with how she looked and felt today! That was in California near the Mexican border, which is ONE reason why it was translated in both languages. But they were all hard to watch. That Hispanic girl and the last one just because of the small child singing and what’s up man has fun with his family and the other family! I love my friends, father because he would not stop drinking. When got pulled over for DUI it didn’t surprise me until I found out my three year old son was in the car with him (when I was called by the police and I was at another state away) when he was doing almost 100 mph and almost hit somebody in Broad daylight! I sued for custody and I won. He hasn’t seen us in three years because he just skipped dui court up and left for Texas and never came back! Peace ✌️ oh BTW, he is in prison in Texas! I just got out of rehab and literally the next day he was arrested for driving drunk and hitting a pole in the middle of the afternoon! WTF!!🤬
That one with the disfigured girl is real nightmare fuel. Somehow it's always the innocents that get hurt in drunk driving wrecks.
Back in 1977 while taking driver's ed, before our actual driving on roads, we watched driver ed films. Kabir it was Signal 30, Mechanized Death, and Red Asphalt, three hours of crushed, burned, mangled bodies, bloody faces. Those films were brutal.
check out the Canadian PSA on restaurant safety.
In high school drivers Ed we saw videos that showed up to the crash then blackout to the sound of screeching tires then showed the mangled vehicles
All I can say is "WOW"!!!
11:47 This is Georges Delerue's score to 'Platoon.'
Kabir, I was just as shocked as you were when you saw the "12 days of Christmas" ad. I have seen that one so many times, the "10 operations" and "Food through a tube" clips still scare me now. Hopefully they used actors for the injured children.
The boy at the beach commercial was taken almost shot to shot from the movie Jaws.
Ours was look both ways before we crossed the street. And funnily, stop, drop and roll if we caught fire. A lot! So I fully expecting catching fire to be a serious risk as I grew up!😂 I haven’t yet, thank God! And I’m 49!
back in junior high on rainy days in gym class they'd keep us inside and show films like "Death on the Highway" which showed things like charred bodies being pulled out of wrecked cars and in the sixties you really couldn't see anything like that except in real life if u were very unlucky⚛😀
In the category of dark PSA Public Safety Announcements, the UK has ruled supreme. But in the past 20 years Canada and Australia have really stepped up their game! Check out Canada’s PSAs on workplace accidents. The UK has still fought back strong to retain their title.
The US(or at least in the time I’ve been aware of these ads) doesn’t have as brutal of ads. What they have is send cars from DUI crashes to high schools near the end of the school year often a week or two before prom.
For my school, a small town in Washington there were two different ones they sent. Freshman and sophomore year it was a mid 2000s f150. A drunk teen with his buddies was speeding alongside the canal on a rainy night. They lost control and crashed into the canal. All four drowned, the truck was nearly intact except for one thing, the sign for canal road was still imbedded into the grill(1.5 miles from the school)
Junior and senior year they decided to be more brutal. A 2010 pirus ripped in two, burnt shell of its former self, one half was placed in the common area, the other about 40ft away, where it ended up in the wreck. Drunk driver in town was speeding and lost control, spun into a tree front half stopped, second half didn’t. The passenger in the back seat dead, back half of the car clipped a second vehicle paralyzing its driver. Drunk driver, walked away. To hammer the point they put a picture of where the wreck was, two miles down the road past the roundabout
OMG, they need to show this in bars. This was brutal. 😢
These are tough to watch but I think very well worth the discomfort. I took gun safety at 12 for hunting and driver's safety at 15. This was the mid 70s and they showed gruesome slides and film clips depicting what can happen. I still remember those images vividly.
In my area on New Years Eve there is a big push not to drink and drive. At least some cabs will give you free rides. Maybe some hotels, let you stay there. So everyone is safe. My husband and I just make sure we are inside before dark. Also if we stay in the house. We have a good chance of not getting hit by a stray bullet. There is a big campaign to stop people from shooting their guns. On New Years Eve. They say what goes up must come down. People have been killed by doing this. Also at my daughter's high school,they will put a car that was in a crash. By their front door, it would be hard to not have to go by it. They hope the kids will get the idea not to drink and drive. I'm sure there are other things they do push this message.
My grandma’s little sister was hit and killed by a drunk driver when she was 10. Dragged her underneath his truck for a good distance. She was riding her bike on the side of the road. I have a special hatred for people who drink and drive.
We used to have these growing up but I can't remember seeing any recently. 🇺🇸
When I was 10 yrs old I saw my first impaired driver hit a 10 yr old boy in front of my school. The man hit him head on and drug the body about 25 ft (7.62 m) under his car. He did not stop until another car blocked him. The boy did not survive. We waited in school and a few hours later an announcement of his death came over the PA. All schools had state flags and they flew ours at half-mast for an entire month.
I saw my second impaired driver accident when walking home from my high school. The impaired driver struck a motorcyclist and he flew about 15 ft (4.572 m). He was not wearing a helmet. The helmet law was not enforced and 2 years later was repealed except for under 18 drivers. The victim was in his early 20s. When he skidded on the road he left a lot of blood in a trail. After they took him away officers picked up his belongings for ID etc. I saw a young officer pick up his boot and he began to throw up as the victims foot fell out of his boot. It had been caught beneath the motorcycle as it skidded down the road and had detached from his body. He was pronounced dead when he arrived at the hospital.
These things gave me nightmares and totally put me on the side of MADD.
Thank you, Kabir! I requested this one, kinda. I love watching your commentary, and would adore seeing you react to more PSAs. (Public service announcements)
Justin Timberlake was recently arrested for a DUI. I realize tons of people drive drunk but he had to know if he caught it would make national news. He definitely has the money for a private driver, taxi, or Uber.
In the late 70s and early 80s drunk driving was the #1 killer for young people. Americans became angry over the loss of so many of their children* and formed MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) founded September 5, 1980, in California. It is a organization (non-profit) in the United States, Canada and Brazil, headquartered in Irving, TX. They have very strong messages too.
* I doubt the US will lower the drinking age because even if it does not stop all teen drunk drivers it makes it difficult and has penalties if caught, for the youths and the person who enabled them.
Watching stuff like this growing up is why I’m scared to drive as an adult.
Im not a drinker myself. So mostly I have to watch out for drunk drivers.
in drivers ed they showed real results of fatal accidents. I was only 15 at the time. they have stuck with me for 49 years. I think everyone who is applying for a license should have to watch them.
Why i drive suvs. I feel tipsy i just get a bunch of water n food....find a spot , park, and sleep in the back
Those stop look listen ones are straight up Tim Burton.
Justin Timberlake, someone who could get a ride to anywhere for anything, just got pulled over for drinking and driving. It comes across as very entitled.
The whole lot is brilliant.
I got hit by a car (he went 30km/h max)..took me 4 years of rehabilitation to feel a little bit normal again. However, it never completely heals tho...I still deal with some pain...it's almost 20 years later😖
That was so disturbing! Kabir please react to the video: I investigated the country where every drug is legal. You absolutely won't believe it! ✌️❤️
I almost hit a kid once. I wasn't drinking, i wasn't speeding, i was paying attention. Coming around a bend in the road a kid ran out in front of me. It wouldn't have been my fault. But i reacted quickly, i turned quickly to the left, hit their mailbox and tore up their front yard but the kid was fine. Never touched him. The parents actually rushed out and apologized to me. It was their yard i drove through. They said dont worry about their mailbox or yard. But i did call the police so everything was on record and they couldn't blame me somewhere down the road. They admitted it was their boy's fault and i wasn't expected to repair the mailbox or yard.
I cant believe theres ppl out there that dont acknowledge they hit or ran over something or someone. Saw my first person get repeatedly get run over last year
There was a hit and run in my area a few years- drunk driver plowed down two women walking on the side of the road. The one woman was obliterated, body parts all over the road, the other woman, I believe was her niece, survived.
They found the driver the next morning because a neighbor saw the car and called the cops. When they arrived, the woman’s torso was still in the car. To this day, the driver still swears he never hit anyone. Some people just can’t handle their mistakes.
I can’t even finish watching
Yeah heaven can wait BUT airbags should not! That was my question when you were saying that you have all the trains and shouldn’t have the problems but yet we’re the ones that have to drive in cars a big chunk of the time esp if you live in the middle of nowhere! We get a lot of DUI arrests but not a humongous amount of DUI crashes Because we have too many cops that are out there catching them and if you’re on the road after midnight, that’s the reason for the cops to be extra vigilant
Australia does NOT mess around when they made these...yeesh
my high school brought in a guy that went to jail for killing an elderly couple while he was drinking and driving. The whole thing came across as a pity party about how this guy's life had been ruined (even though he travels across the US giving speeches and he's married with children) and not about how he murdered two people.
How's that a pity party? I kinda take it as wanting to heal from trauma and moving on while the burden of murder will always follow one
Was that Sheldon from Big Bang? At 2:18
The thing is, if you drink and get behind the wheel you are, for all intents and purposes, a criminal, you didn't intend for it to happen but I think everyone knows by now that alcohol impairs your reactions. Maybe Alcohol interlock systems should be a standard part of cars, like seat belts. In the US Drunk drivers cause more than 17,000 deaths annually and about 32% of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involves drunk drivers. The ads are effective, my worry is that they're effective on people who are responsible enough not to drink & drive to start with, I'm not sure it would really affect or influence people who drink and drive.
Some of these are really hard to watch. I'm still waiting for the drunk passing a stopped school bus. Children aren't target practice when loading or unloading.
Damn, how many people in the U.K were drunk driving? Must of been a lot for this whole ad campaign. Or info campaign, whatever you'd call it.
I had to dislike my first ever Kabir video this was just not something i felt should be reacted to... LOVE THE CHANNEL THO KEEP IT UP KABIR!
Worst true story I've seen was a motorcyclist speeding who hit the back of a semitruck. The cycle flew past the truck, but the body was embedded in the rear of the trailer. Parent allowed pictures on Internet as a warning. Snopes fact checked it. Just Google motorcyclist embedded in semitruck. I can't imagine anyone seeing the real pictures and reading the story and not forever having imprinted in their minds road safety. His name was Brandon White, he was from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
That was oddly less graphic then I'd imagined. Guess I assumed a more looney tunes version of that. You'd think he'd be more disfigured. I mean, dead is dead, but still.
@@johnwray393 probably less graphic because death was instantaneous, heart stops, little blood but was on the ground and the truck took some time to stop from initial impact. Still, it is a visceral reminder speed, alcohol, and distracted driving have consequences. Be safe friend.
Interesting. If an alcoholic drives a car and alcoholism is a disease can we actually call them an idiot???
I think not. I think the assumption that alcoholics are capable of recognizing when they’ve had too much is ridiculous. Science has already shown alcohol stunts the thought process, not to mention mental development in juveniles. Why do we think a drunk would recognize said impairment.
😮💔
None of these are as bad as the stuff they showed in drivers education when I took it in the US.
We never really have commercials like these in the US due to censorship of showing such things. And yet our tv shows, movies are full of gore, swearing, sex, rape, murder, incest....etc. I mean, we do have them. But its SUPER rare they ever do more then have something simple like showing cop lights and saying "Don't drink and drive!" We need more commercials that show the reality. I do recall that one with the girl was burned though.
I'm an 🇺🇸 and we had these all of the time growing up. Along with ads we had after school specials and made for TV movies aimed at this.
Dont worry all of these are staged on here
Not sure none of these have an emotional impact on me. Maybe to desensitized by our American media. I mean, I also don't drink. I imagine if I did, probably hit me harder. Though to be fair, if this was real footage or real people (aside from the woman with the burns), I'd be much more affected. Guess having seen anough actual drunk driver crashes and mangled bodies, it ways more on you then commercial showing it.
I'm an American so I've gotten used to these commercials
