I love how Ben is so committed he actually got drunk and crashed a car in real life. 👏
Good video Ben, as a retired Firefighter i have been the casualty in the car and extracted the drunk out of the car. The worst case is when the driver runs off leaving the friends or even girl friend in the car.
I’m sure you carry that with you at all times just because of one selfish idiot .
My uncle was a fire fighter for 25 years, some of the stories are incredible how he’s still such a sane and stable character…Got to give our forces huge respect for being there, does open eyes watching this, keep safe over the holidays folk, ain’t worth the agg!
I recently worked with a guy who had 30 years of experience, he did body recovery, yet he's sane as anything always having a laugh. yet what he told me gave me nightmares.
Get him on the happy hour podcast!
My daughter’s a student paramedic and went on one of these fire brigade training exercises with the rest of her class. They asked for a volunteer to stay in the car with the patient whilst they cut the roof off, only my daughter volunteered. Weirdly, the next shift on an ambulance, she ended up in a car , staying with the patient and keeping them calm whilst they cut the roof off. A couple of weeks later she received a thank you letter and a gift from the casualty, thanking her for staying with him and keeping him calm.
I think something else important to note is this incident may not happen only to the drink driver but may also impact sober road users
I know it's a video about drink driving, but it also showcases the incredible work of our Fireservice.
I remember in January I was in an RTC Training exercise twice and the firefighters had a laugh with me at times, talking to me and letting me know what’s happening along with student paramedics too. I loved every bit of it even with the loud noises and I learnt a lot whilst being extricated as it was my first time being in that kind of training. Well done Ben! You done great! And well done to NYFRS for their work too as part of this training video.
i was one test away from becoming an on call firefighter. passed all the tests even was accepted at my chosen station, unfortunately i tore my acl so i couldn't finish. i've always respected what the fire service do. ill definitely go for it again in the future
Another great vid. And also a very timely warning (PLEASE don't drink and drive folks. Even that 'just the one' affects your driving).
But this reminds me of my schooldays. Some mates and I volunteered to be 'casualty simulators' for the fire brigade. It was great fun. And it go us out of school a lot! But there used to be competitions as well. So we'd be upside down in a fake submerged car in Spenborough Baths whilst burly firemen would drag us out in the fastest time possible. Got some right injuries from that. But as they would point out, they were going for realism and in real life what would you prefer; a disclosed shoulder or drowning?
Happy Christmas Ben to you and yours.
Proud to be from Yorkshire and even though I was a boy racer and still am a little bit I respect you Ben, ive had a few run ins with your mates in the past but always been respectful, speeding maybe one thing out in the moors but ive never once touched drink and got behind the wheel.
That is my friends old car he’s the one that crashed it and rolled it great to see Ben behind the wheel of it. Mad to see it’s been re purposed
We are also waiting for proof of destruction of this vehicle so I’ve messaged you on instagram regarding how you can across it as we have been messed around regarding its scrappage
Full service history , well looked after , £800 ONO
One careful lady owner!

Thanks Ben and Tadcaster Fire and Rescues, this was very realistic, and a great and very necessary video. 🙏
So sad that this message will never reach the people it really needs to. I feel sorry for the people that still have to clear up the mess and the families that have to live with the selfish consequences of others. The drunks often walk away unscathed. They should be made to care for their victims.
Not to mention the resources this ties up to get your backside to safety, after those many drinks! Great video, and what a bunch of absolute professionals. Really a best case scenario as most of these incidents, single vehicle or multiple, end up with the driver and passengers in a much more precarious situation , with all sorts of serious injuries.
Ben mentioned the resources at the end.
Absolutely fantastic video ben and a big shout out to all fire and rescue workers they did an amazing job .......
Ben ! Brilliant that was ! thank you, here in the us we have exercises like that too, ones called "drink, drive, die" they have people hanging half way out of cars, covered in blood, i cant watch them it makes me cry, i cant imagine anyone stuck in that situation, then you might have family or friends showing up at the crash too, not pretty at all, i have so much respect for what you do, what the fire and rescue do its just amazing how they all come together and save people
this is honestly fasinating... we've all heard about "people getting cut out of cars", but this is something else !!!
Great job Ben just hope this message gets out to those that feel okay to flout the law.
What perfect timing for this video Ben, this had such an impact on me. I hope everyone who sees this keeps themselves and their loved ones safe ❤
My other half is a CFR (Community First Responder) He keeps a camping chair in both our cars, so if he comes across someone that has been in an accident, but doesn't look that bad, he gets them to sit on the chair, where it is safe to do so. He never lets anyone get in the car, because if they turn round and say that their neck hurts, the fire brigade has to cut the roof off the car. They cannot possibly be moved otherwise.
As a medical student, all of us in my uni get a similar mock scenario in our second year of the course but they get some of the students to be the casualties and even had wound artists etc. and had police, fire, ambulance and air ambulance crew (not the chopper just the 4x4 Volvo) involved in it - great to see how everyone works together in these types of situations.
What a great video Ben. This made me think as i got done for drink driving. Mine was a miner crash. Which wasn't my fault. I done the crime and spent my time on community service which I loved all the hours I spent
Great video hopefully makes people more aware of drink and drugs while driving
Fantastic video Ben ,what a great time to air this video
As a former Taxi Driver I would also like to add that you should never drive whilst tired. Some years ago as a Taxi Driver I never took long distance jobs late in my shift , as I knew I would be tired. However one Saturday night I was offered a job from Dumfries in South West Scotland to Glasgow. The Job was earlier in the shift so I took the risk. Driving at about 2am near Hamilton I fell asleep at the wheel.Whilst I was asleep the car swerved into a junction, at which time I awoke and swerved back into the motorway. I was lucky that it was a quiet road at 2am otherwise I would not have successfully re entered the road and completed the journey. Had it been a busy 2pm for example the outcome could have been a lot more different, please don't drive whilst tired.
Happy Christmas And New Year. Ben And Family. Great Vlog.
Brilliant video Ben! As a non-drinking driver, I appreciate what your video shows! It was very graphic and hard hitting. I hope this will urge drinkers to not drive! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
I have total respect for all first responders. The way they dealt with my parents after a no fault collision was exemplary. I went to the compound later and the entire roof was cut off the car. I never got a chance to thank them so if you're reading this it was in 92 by wrightington hospital and it was a brown maxi. Thank you for everything.
That's a very powerful video. Thanks Ben
Thank you for this, such an inspiring idea to make change.
Keep up the good work, mate!
As a neighbor of the FireDepartment, it is good to see them exercise the equipment. That wakes me in the mornings. As we know, electric saws only run in the twighlt.
superb eye opener, thanks
Amazing video ben. I will share this on my socials
The A65 in North Yorkshire is a popular place to crash a car. The amount of idiots to end up in a situation like this where the emergency services need to be called is ridiculous. This video might make one or two stop and think.
Superb video Bradford's finest along with the real heroes in the firefighters 🚒 👏🏻 👍🏻
At this time of year especially people will stupidly risk it after a few drinks and regret it for the rest of their lives!!!...
It's just not worth it so well done Ben and all concerned on highlighting this important matter and getting it out there!!!...
Have a great safe Merry Christmas all...🎅🥳🎁🥳🎄🥳
Brilliant video, anything to highlight the dangers, if this stops even one person it’s well worth it. Well done, great channel, seasons greetings to all.🎉
Been there 1986 and was saved by all emergency services I was sober at the time thankfully. Kuntscher nail in my femur to remind me of it
unbelievable men and women the rescue service
Top Video Ben
This is a class video 👌
If it means one person gets a taxi home rather than driving it’s worked.
Many years ago I watched a similar exercise (extrication) live. It was the scariest thing I've ever watched.
Incredible video and I hope people think twice after seeing this due to how hard it hits but here’s a scenario….
Imagine all this happening to an innocent third party vehicle that’s been hit by an intoxicated drink driver!
Please don’t drink drive! 😢
Brilliant video ❤
Five pints is just a slight buzz, if anything it enhances the driving experience. Especially in the summertime.
Great video Ben, you are a top man cheers
Brilliant, thanks, Ben.
Circa 1973 I had a motorcycle. Finished work early, stopped at a pub and had a couple of pints; was about to leave. Was persuaded to have another. Rode 20 miles back home and never been so scared. Since then, if driving, I won’t even have a half.
Very careless of you to do it
@@Manos-de-Piedra, are you English?
It wasn’t careless, it was stupid.
Keep up the good work Ben 👍
Dust suppression on the glass boys on point
ive been driving over a year now and personally i dont like driving that much because the amount of unsafe drivers on the road in my area but other than that great video and great demonstration of the consequences of speeding/drink driving
Just keep going - you’ll probably end up as a good driver as you seem aware . Just remember none of us are perfect and we all need to learn from mistakes - both our own and others. Gradually you will develop an almost sixth sense to be aware of certain drivers and to keep well away from them.
I thought this was going to be Ben doing tests on a closed circuit while getting more and more drunk
How the police fire brigraide and ambulance workers deal with the horrific fatal accidents I don’t know. Gotta commend you all for your honorary service ❤
Love the vids ben
have a wonderful Christmas ben see you in 2024
Bloody hell Ben! Think before your 5th! Did you not see the adverts from the 50’s?!
‘I’m sorry I only had 5’ 😂
Fire had to roll out of bed to do something then 😂
Great video Ben definitely not worth drinking and driving 👍
Great video Ben, unfortunately idiots will sill drink drive. Good video though, loved it.
Great video ben
What a video 🙌👏
Really good video, Ben, and should be played to all new drives before they sit a driving test
You forgot to tell everyone to F off and try to start a fight with the ambulance crew.
Seriously though, this brings back memories. The worst part for me was bringing the deceased to the hospital and then trying to get out of there before the family arrived. 😢
What I learnt. If you want a convertable. Drink and Drive
Nice convertible Polo, that!
drink drivers should be made to pay for all the services that are called on , maybe that would stop people risking it
Free Ben
Poor Polo.
Massively important message. If I know that I need to drive, (or choose to), I prefer not to drink alcohol at all. It just isn't worth risking literal life and limb for even 'just one' drink. Keep yourself and everyone else as safe as possible and get a lift/taxi.
If that video stops just 1 drink driver then its been worth doing well done ben its about time the goverment changed the law to 0mg !!!
People are going for it now
Good vid
I'm currently watching this whilst drinking.... It's handy not having a license sometimes
Is that tadcaster fire station?
At first I was feeling the pain as Trumpton had to interrupt their ping pong tournament, but then the roof’s coming off so they’re not unhappy.
Ftr, I was at a big volunteering works do last night? A hotel room for me, no driving till blown clear!
I drive for a living, and have ended up stuck in trapped traffic on several occasions as a result of serious collisions. One occasion caused me to run out of hours & I had to overnight it without warning.
DO
NOT
DRINK/DRUG
DRIVE!
i know they have to be quick with emergency's and i know this is training but do they depending on the damage disconnect the power (battery) to the car incase they go through a high amperage cable ?
Always disconnect the battery, however there wasn’t one and it was a non runner ha ha
@@BenPearson1965 If it wasn't a non runner before, it certainly is now 🤭
@@BenPearson1965 shame that would have been a nice little project that
i know it was a training video ,and you were talking about feeling claustrophobic well i had to pause the video and go to the bathroom to be sick ,i felt i was in that car .
"im sorry ive only had 5 pints" haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Class son!
I often do this, the drunk drivers aren’t the problem it’s the drunk crashers.
(For legal reasons this is a joke)
What all the emergency services see I won’t be able to sleep at night
Only had 5 pints 🤣
Seen the roof cut off a car was shocking and horrible to see as a minicab decided to do a u-turn right in front of a bus. I didn't see the incident directly but had to wait and see it as my bus was stuck as well and couldn't go anywhere
"please don't drink drive ever"
Drunk lady and passenger with a kid in the back drove her corsa head on into dads rangerover. Roof had to be cut off to get him out. Please dont end up like this...
Should be a shoutout to those responding to the incident the effect is has on them . When now days you get a taxi with a few clicks on your phone . Do not even need to call anymore . To drink drive you should never be able to drive again .
What’s the idea of the running water on the glass whilst cutting it? Is it supposed to help cut down on glass flying everywhere? Can’t think of any other reason
To stop dust from flying everywhere
@@Alucard-gt1zf cutting down on debris then, thought so, just never seen that before 👍🏻
What this is really simulating is the future when there's so many cuts to emergency services that only Fire have the time to arrive on scene. Police and Ambo no-where to be found...
I am joking ofc, I know this was Firefighter training specifically so they didn't have paramedics etc giving advice. But still funny to imagine...
Jaws of life. 👍
Ben, is your car going to be okay?
Now imagine this with broken legs arms or back hips any serious injury
I'm sorry I only had 5 pints😂
the ones screaming and shouting are OK the quiet ones are the concern
I've been in a car that rolled. We all got out completely unharmed, Completely. Not a scratch on us. We weren't going quick. About 35mph, was a really crappy bent on a 60 limit, no indication of a hairpin bent at night. Doors open right up and it was the funniest thing ever. My friend actually got out and locked the car 😂 no one was drinking just a shitty situation. The council have since put reflective signs up. Luckily we weren't speeding or driving fast because the accident could have been a lot worse. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and I really hope this puts anyone off drink driving. Or even just driving too fast on roads you don't know.
The poor car.
when someone causes an accident by deliberately drinking and driving they should be charged for the emergency services, it happens in some USA states, drunk driving is like firing a gun into a dark room full of people hoping you don't hit anyone, a game of chance basically, texting while driving also is very dangerous is on the increases from what I see when driving,
I'll back you up on that Ben.....
Drinking and driving is just bloody stupid.
I hold my hands up.....yes IV done it.
And yes I was caught,....18 MTH ban.
And that did change my attitude to it all.
That 18mth was hell for me, seamed like 3yrs.
Luckily I didn't crash or hurt anyone but looking back it could of been so much worse.
Please don't do it. It's not worth it.
Looked like Ali G on the stretcher! 😂. Seriously, these guys have enough to deal with regarding sober idiot drivers, let alone bell ends who feel the need to ruin not only their own lives but others by drink driving. I believe it should be zero tolerance.
I’m greateful you’ve done it so we don’t have to
From the end it is a bit longer now but it was the same thing we could have to get on and
