  • I think this is an awesome video. Fresh and very relevant. This will be the first thing everyone will see when they visit our channel; I hope you don't mind. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos. Thanks.

  • love thiis ad but the 17k seems a bit much. I would think its closer to 5-10k -.-

    17k if you count 6 months in jail without work.

  • L. O. L.

    Dude lost everything because of cheap drinking.

    Sounds like pot advocation, if anything.

  • its like hey we are tracking your tweets so if you say your drinking we are coming to hunt you down. and basically the state is going to take all your money and ruin your life..

  • @skuloop Only paranoid people think that. You paranoid? This is like saying "hey, if you get caught drinking and driving, this is what could happen."

  • Nice ad....but don't forget that you can take Capital Metro or a cab....

  • For kids: Dwi means Driving While Intoxicated

  • Wish there was a dislike button! 1:16

  • Who checks in at the court house?

  • There's no uptown in Austin.

  • Awesome video.

  • LUV'ED IT!

  • my birthday is on december 28 and im from texas. thats freaky

  • my birthday is on december 28

  • I like how @ .26 seconds into it the phone shows 9:30pm for a text about being at the ware house but then a text comes in at 11:35am for the same day claiming it's been 2 hours, last i checked am came before pm in a 24 hour period lol. Someone missed that typo.

  • The hearing is the day after the MW3 release, I don't think he's gonna make it to the hearing. #Oops

  • ...But yes, it's always better to be safe than sorry and have a designated driver. However, if you do fuck up at least do some research and apply for the limited driver's license so you can still keep your job.

  • ...Another thing about the getting fired from work scenario. YOU CAN DO YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE ON YOUR FREAKIN' DAYS OFF PEOPLE! You can also apply for a special license that lets you DRIVE TO WORK if you get a DUI or a DWI so yes you really can earn an income people. Not that I know this from personal experience but I do know people who have been pulled over with a DWI and they still were able to work, do community service, and not get financially bankrupt.

  • Ok, I am against drinking and driving but I can see a lot of things wrong with this commercial. First off, this person never should have bothered with getting a lawyer to represent their case. Usually you can go ahead and plead guilty, pay the fine and spend some time in jail, depending on the case. No need to waste money on hiring an expensive "DWI Lawyer." Second, their SO is a complete jackass for breaking up with them because they don't want to use the time or money to see them anymore....

  • Travis County! I live in Travis County haha. The cops are dicks.. Incredible video though, real stuff

  • This should be on television and in schools! if it already isnt!

  • so powerful, true, refreshing to see the truth being told!

  • wow...yall put a lot into this commercial. Its nice!

    

  • Lost me when the girl broke up with him, he lost his job, and his checking account was allowed to go overdrawn by thousands of dollars.

  • C'mon 2012!!!!!

  • Just like click it or Ticket!! WTF? I thought this was a FREE country? But they tell you how to drive the car that you bought. What to do with the water that you paid for. Give them money for the house that you own. Take money out of your paycheck, which they have no right to do by the way, to make their living and feed their families and take their tropical vacation's. While your stuck working you ass off feeling endebted to these assholes?? Something's got to change! ! !

  • You forgot the part where you have to drive to get to work to make a living to feed your family, ah but you don't have a license so you do it anyway get pulled over throwed in jail. Car gets impounded license gets suspended longer... Well can't make it sacking grocery's better just get the car out lick my wounds and stick my nose back to the grinding wheel.

  • I think it's great the way you pigs show yet another one of your traps to rob, kill, steal and destroy. Rub it right in our face. Now I have never had a DWI but it's all the same. Once they got you you'll never get back on track. Glorified Thief 's.

  • WHERE THE HELL IS OUR DISLIKE BUTTON -___-

  • This is a perfect example of how much money the state makes off of prosecuting the hell out of people.

  • MISLEADING TITLE

    Another waste of time on YouTube -_-

    The damage is 2 mins 18 secs this time;

    You don't go into debt from a DWI.

    So fucking stupid - If you had a job, this wouldn't be on here

  • waste of my time just like everybody who had there time wasted thank you youtube

  • What is the catchy song?

    

  • I hate it when they use YouTube for ads...

  • @switchhbladebitch, how about no?

  • this is the biggest piece of shit i have ever seen you should take this off of youtube you sorry sack of shit

  • quit promoting this on every fuckin video on this site its bullshit when I wanna see something WORTH watching.

  • MADD is a TOTAL FAIL!!!

    The intoxication laws are there for a reason. It's to protect innocent people from dangerous people. However, If someone sips ONE drink for A WHOLE HOUR while she talks with her friends, then decides to drive home, that should be OK!

    Because MADD has bribed law makers to lower the legal toxicity level, you can literally be "over the limit" with 3/4 of a drink. MADD wants you in jail if you have a single drink with your dinner at a restaurant.

  • MADD is a total FAIL.

    The intoxication laws are there for a reason. It's too protect innocent people from dangerous people. However, if someone sips on 1 drink for A WHOLE HOUR while she talks with her friends then decides to drive home, that should be fine!

    Because MADD has BRIBED government officials to lower the toxicity level down 0.01 you can be "over the limit" with 3/4 of a drink. MADD wants to put you in jail if you have ONE drink with your dinner.

  • This happened to me! Just got off a year later in August NEVER AGAIN i hope....

  • This was pretty awesome. And yay for using Gowalla to check in!

  • great vid.......still gonna get plastered almost every night also whats the song??

  • whats the name of this song? if there is any.......

  • This is a great Ad!

  • Surprisingly good ad. I normally skip these, but as I hovered over the "Skip this ad" button, the video drew me in. Very creative ad!

  • Car is full bro...... in other words no faggot

  • @CINTERPOL Its like he wants to chill with him but at the same time hes like I DONT WANNA WASTE GAS what a fag

  • omg on the texting the date is september 17 2010 but this video was released september 8th 2010! WOAH.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes the system ROYALLY FUCKS YOU for a first time DUI!! Great video. The breaking up with the girlfriend and the friends not helping at all were somewhat exaggerated, but the -$5000 was spot on!

  • Props...

    Vital.

    Thanks

  • This is obv an Apple advert.

  • first thing i saw this my first thought that poped in my head was it would be cool to see this in my drivers ed class

  • Thats really cool and neat!!

  • i drive better when im high \:

  • they should show this at drivers ed school cause the class is pretty boring

  • We think were sane... we must suffer the consequences of letting this deceitful dark blah blah way of living. you get the point..i hope. yes this means a lot of people would have to die most likely.. :/ but if you cant accept the world, everything in it, yourself, and the "god like" universe around us,(I threw that in there for you non doubtful believers ;) ) then you will create problems with others.i know this because we all do...it feels like if we dont ever try the worst of it is comin soon

  • NOOO SIR! Okay, life is a *itch sometimes and we slip and make a mistake but what we choose to do shouldn't be punishable by law regardless of what happens. these laws were made by groups of people dating back to I have no clue honestly lol. (THIS IS WHERE IT GETS GOOD) Whenever man had come to be, at some point they started interacting, every causes effect has been tied to that point. don't you think its time we recreate how EVERYTHING works for humanity. equal. tranq. and happ. no pursuit ;)

  • shit fb tricked me!!!!!

    oh well really good video I can relate to it

  • how long is this youtube ad and why can't I skip it?!......oh.

  • The cop also made him hold his breath on the breath test which may have been uncalibrated and disregarded to 2 point lenience in either direction. this made him blow .083, and considering that he had work in the morning, a girlfriend and other things going for him, I'd say that he probably an alright guy. The cop was has a well established history of Sadistic Personality Disorder and takes pleasure in other people's suffering.

  • worthless way to get money from people. what it didn't tell you is that the guy was one block away from his house after 2 beers. he was threatened with a tazer and made to do a number of tests that are designed to fail, in fact he did quite well considering that 90% of sober people fail the test. The cop lied on the report and hes just doing it for the overtime pay.

  • designed failure the return of prohibition

  • great ad but look at 1:16 there's a dislike button wheres ours

  • @breezym980 There us a thing for facebook for em

  • @breezym980 You can download apps for the dislike button. Facebook won't make it a standard feature because this can encourage cyberbullying if it was for everyone, especially by high schoolers.

  • lol wasnt this an ad?

  • WOW now that said a story

  • Great Job! I I will be sharing this with a lot of people.

  • nicely done.

  • AWESOME!

    

  • Great job on the video! Although as someone who has been charged (keyword: charged, not convicted) for a DWI, I think that it's important to emphasize the fact that even if you are not driving at an illegal BAC, you can still be charged with a DWI and still have to hire an attorney. Police will charge anyone who "appears" to be driving drunk. Bottom line: don't ever drive if you've had anything to drink, because will be charged like I was and still pay a shit load of legal fees.

  • your right on point man. a SAPD officer was just killed last week by a drunk driver. idiot!

  • Awesome video. Great job making it relevant to today, instead of a guy sitting in a car full of beer.

  • Excellent!!!!

  • So true! But that's i s not all! There is more...

  • very good!

  • Belle animation, et oui ça change de nos pub à nous, beaucoup plus ternes et si officielles.

  • It wouldn't be so sad if it wasn't so true....

  • Great job!

  • Awesome. Well done and Thanks.

  • This is but a disguised Apple commercial :(

  • mortel!!!!!

  • Ça change de nos pub française !

  • Where is the music from? Great production quality overall.

  • Comment removed

  • well done!

  • clever... love the courthouse checkin...LOL. Also wish there really was a dislike button on FB!

  • Woah, this is really stupid. At least we all know it's not true because Facebook doesn't have a "Dislike" button ;)

  • @katenicole1230

    You can download apps for the Dislike button.

  • Your tagline says "A $17,000 DWI: Drinking and driving isn't worth it." While I agree, I note that the actual balance difference between pre-DWI and post DWI in the video is a loss of $21,366.26. **To be fair, at the end of the video our presumably sobered-up drunk driver is $17,422.60 in debt. Bankruptcy court, anyone?**

  • So, if this video is accurate, drunk driving might cost someone in Travis County, TX, some $20,000? Ouch.

  • Notice all of those fees? Government's way of saving us taxes by sucking off all the losers who do stupid things. LOL

  • Since when was there such a thing as a "dislike" button?

  • Boy are lawyers expensive. I'm not sure if I should complain, as I have close relatives who are lawyers =D

  • What kind of a loser gets drunk after eating ice cream? LOL

  • Maybe the problem is driving itself.... it's awfully expensive and there are an awful lot of bad intersections. And doing it drunk is a lot MORE expensive, obviously.

  • Great job

  • Its horrible that things have to be this way. Great video, very professional.

  • BULLSHIT!!!! IF THAT WAS THE CASE MONEY WISE, AROUND HALF OF AMERICA WOULD BE BANKRUPT BC OF DWI!!!!

  • @Tarin597 Half of America isn't stupid enough to drive drunk, so no.

  • @Tarin597

    No they wouldn't. Just because your pals get drunk and hit the road doesn't mean everyone else would. If half of America drove drunk, the highways would be impassable from coast to coast due to accidents!

  • Anybody knows what's the song?

  • That's exactly how you make young people getting aware of dangerous behaviors.

    Great job.

  • awesome!!! recommended it to all my friends with teen and young adult children.

  • @cindycurler

    Why not go by transit? Oh right, American cities are so screwed up that they force people to hit the road. Sad.

  • great job!! I like this.

  • Clever!

  • Why is Jessica drinking at 11:35 in the morning?? What a loser. :27

  • I know a couple people who need to see this.

  • Brilliant.

  • Awesome video. It has a really great message.

  • You can destroy your life with less than 140 characters ^^

  • Congratulations on an excellent, simplistic message

  • There should be a remix made for Braylon Edwards.

  • Look at it like a $20 insurance policy.

  • Great work!

  • All this video tells me is that the government enjoys completely destroying someone's life.

  • @Zarggg

    If a drunk driver gets in a wreck and kills someone, HE completely destroys someone's life... LITERALLY. Considering the impact that can have, major deterrence doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

  • Great great video. I subscribe @copycraft 's comment

  • Great video! Great use of social media to make this a more relevant topic.

  • Cool Video.

    But I hate how all of this is true. Ruining your life over blowing a .08 b/a level. I could probably do that after 2 drinks, and I would still be sober :-/

    I think they need to raise the legal limit to at least .1

  • @St3althish

    Just so you know, I have never seen a BAC in a DWI case under a .14. If you've had a couple but you're still sober enough to drive, it's unlikely you'll be driving crazy enough to get pulled over. In order to blow .08 with two drinks, you'd have to weigh less than 100 lbs by most charts I've seen.

  • @XiaoGui17 My sister got one at .12 when the cop watched her leave the bar and thought she was drunk when she slipped on a rain puddle

  • @H00tersGirl89 well he was right lol .12 is drunk.

  • @H00tersGirl89 well he was right lol .12 is drunk.

  • @k8keens if you've ever experimented with a breathalyzer at home while drinking, at .12 my friends and i consistently always felt very, very, very little, usually NO effects of the alcohol. but everyone is different and if you feel ANYTHING you shouldn't drive. just because its the governments' legal definition of drunk (which works very well in bringing in money! watch the video) doesn't actually mean you are DRUNK. so if you've had anything at all, don't drive!!!

  • @H00tersGirl89

    yeah, legally drunk. I actually have gotten a dwi and it totally sucks. A .12 is about 3-4 beers. i meant legally drunk aka "intoxicated" not actually drunk haha. trust me everybody, just never drink and drive no matter what. they can take you to jail even if you only blow a .01

  • @H00tersGirl89

    If she wasn't operating a motor vehicle, he had no right to charge her with DWI. Public intoxication, at best. If she was operating (or intending to operate) a motor vehicle, she had NO BUSINESS doing so at .12

  • LOL. The message is excellent, the costs are real, and they finally got a Dislike button working on THEIR facebook. Hee! Nicely done. If it weren't for the DWI part, you'd be the envy of the social networking world...

  • This is too awesome! Whoever produced the idea for this commercial knows his/her stuff about social media!

    I'm so glad I'm always the designated driver for my friends.

  • very scary and useful video. too bad there's no dislike button on facebook...

  • @Jaggedking027 The one thing that stuck out at me too :P

  • scary that in the US a car is so indispensible that you can't have a job, see friends or have a girlfriend without one.
