My father was killed by a drunk driver in 1999. The last time I saw him was when I gave him a hug on the front porch of the house and hoped in my pick up truck to see my girlfriend in Washington D.C. before I moved to Colorado. My mother called me a few months after I had moved and told me to sit down, she told me and I was devastated, 22 years later I still am. All of the things I wish I could have told him, how sorry I was for some of the things I had done when I was a teenager, I'll never have the chance to tell him. I'll never get the chance to tell him how glad I was he was my father and how happy he made me even though I might not have shown it. I was younger then and not all young people express themselves that well. I wish I could go back in time, I wish could tell him how much I love him but I can't. People who kill other when drinking and driving don't realize how many people they hurt. To them it's a fine and a little bit of jail time, then they are out and free. And we who have lost some will always be hurt, forever and ever. It's not fair! I love you dad and I miss you very much. With love, your son, Rhett.
Love you Dad, I'm not a success, I'm still struggling and probably always will. Sorry I didn't listen to all of the great advice you and mom gave me. Thanks and I miss you both
My heart ached. I cried my eyes out. The guilt and shame instantly touched my heart and soul. The more knowledge I have received the more i will spread the word and stand up to make a difference. I am ashamed of the choices I have made. The mistakes I have made that could have cost lives and pain to others and to the people in my life. God bless the people who are victims and I pray god forgives those who caused these type of things and is with their families as well.
That last image of that guy who lost his family just tears me apart!!..I can see and feel the pain he displays through his eyes!..my heart just breaks for him...and the rest of the families as well who lost loved ones!😥😥😥😥😥😥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was court-ordered to watch this via a DVD at the Salt Lake County criminal justice building. I thought there would only be a few of us. 150 showed up, like me, court-ordered. It was a very emotional viewing for me. I compare society's changing attitudes toward drinking and driving to the changed attitudes toward smoking in public, car seats for babies, to name just a couple. I think it's a good thing. Heaven knows I could have seriously hurt or killed someone. JFYI, this video was produced in SLC with SLC residents. I thought it was an excellent production. The immaturity level of some of the comments screams selfishness. Unlike days gone by, there's no excuse to drink and drive today with the advent of Lyft & Uber. None. I was in jail for my own DUI and one of my cellies was a 35-year old that killed a baby boy in a car seat and turned his mom into a quadriplegic. Again, that could have been me. I couldn't live with myself if I hurt somebody driving drunk, let alone kill somebody. I'm solving my problem by quitting drinking.
I just wanted to wish you well. It takes alot of guts to admit you got a DUI, but you seemed to have learned your lesson. I pray you did. The man who hit me & killed 4 people didn't learn, they found him outside of a bar in a ditch, he had been murdered. Hang in there, God bless
As a survivor of a drunk driving accident which left me disabled and in pain forever from a back injury caused by an adult male who actually thought it was funny and walked away without a scratch. I appreciate people like you who get it and speak out against it. Again I agree with you against some of the comments, especially that guy blaming mother's for it all are pathetic. God bless you and your family. I hope more people speak out against it like you and this may save lives.
Thank you and Mahalo for posting this. When I lived in California I used to work in the DUI system, providing the drivers education for first and multiple offenders. Now I'm on the Big Island (Kona side) of Hawaii, and I continue my work by doing substance abuse assessments for people that get DUI's. It's my job to determine if someone is an alcoholic / addict (mandate them going to treatment) or if it was a bad judgment call. You don't have to be an alcoholic / addict to get a DUI. I tell my clients to PLEASE get a personal breathalyzer, to prevent getting a DUI or worse. They can be purchased online....or buy one for someone you love.
This video made me cry. I was lucky but not lucky because I'm the mother of the drunk driver. My son totaled his car, but his friend in the car with him was hurt. The driver of the other vehicle was not injured enough to seek an ambulance. My son was arrested, he spent the night in jail, I had to pay the fees, a lawyer, buy a new vehicle, pay for his 1 year alcohol classes. He lived out of town going to college. He was 19. He's 39 now. He never drank after his accident. He learned what drinking and driving can happen. 😭😡🙏🏼
im furious abiut this im extremely outraged disturbed scared schocked and horrified by the enormous loss of life accidents injuries and danger everbody faces on a daily basis in extrmely large numbers we really need to do so much more and better to stop a very very large number of drunk and drugged people all over the coun try from ever getting behind the wheel so much more and bveletter im extremely outraged and dissapointed by how rarely little and inneffectively this is being done to stop drunks and drugged people all over the country from driving its innexucable how innefective unproactive and inadequate madds efforts and our country and people have been and preventing an enormous amount of drunk and drugged driving across the country when in reality so much more and better can and should be done and so many more people friends parents roomates neigbors brothers wives husbandf girlfriends really really can and should do a much better job and much more of stopping people they know who have drug or drinking problems from driving on a very very large level. lets take action and get a very very large number of people across the country to get involved and stop those they know or see at all in the community from driving drunk its insane this is about saving lives and making our roadways so much safer and better we need to do this relenltleslly it reallly should have been done 10 times more and better over 2 decades ago when they internet started out back in97 what the hell has takne madd and our country so long to get their act together and take action.
They just want to make money, if it was for saving lives, they would be just as harsh on text drivers but nope, just a ticket. And toddlers run over by text drivers but they still keep their license no jail time no classes or huge fine nope.
This is absolutely heart breaking. Please please learn from y’all mistakes before is to late. One DWI is one to many. Next time you pick up an alcoholic beverage. Think think think before you decide to even drink and drive.
I watched my father pass away at 16. He was fine at 10am gone by 1030am. It was horrible. Yet none of it compares to this story. I'm sorry rip. Life can be tough and can be beautiful all at once. I'm sorry this is just horrible.
@@ilazerxxx4894 lmao you got me. Wow wtf my comment was 8 years ago. That's crazy. I only took drivers Ed once lmao but I've seen this video a number of times in different places. Sheesh, I'm not even the same person I was 8 years ago.
I remember when i was 18, me and a good buddy of mine went to Buffalo Wild wings for happy hour. We were just planning on a few beers and take some wings back home for the ball game.. Next thing you know theres that one drunk guy who randomly walks in and buys EVERYONE drinks.. Long story short, we are both FRIED, and we hop in my jeep, and mind you, my house was only 7 mins away.. I lost control of my jeep, ( none of us had seatbelts on), and when the jeep flipped, BOTH of us got ejected from the vehicle… The curve i lost control on had a Muddy and nasty swamp on the bottom of that hill, and when we got ejected, we landed n the SWAMP.. COMPLETELY UNINJURED.. Im like MIKEEEEE… MIKKKEEEE… And hes like im over here broooo.. and he had mud ALL over him.. Im like bro wtf just happened.. So we look at the top of the hill and the Jeep is engulfed in flames, and all we heard was sirens in the background… And yes we both did get hauled in that night for DUI covered in mud and grass..If you want to know how a mud pie tastes, im the one you wanna ask.. Alcohol aint nothing to play around with slim…. Yall youngins think im joking?? Your more than welcome to drink, get behind the wheel and find out for yourself
Would love to hear how the murderers and thieves responsible for the pain and loss of these people, feel!! Why are they not part of these documentaries?!
@@stephenfermoyle4578 as a treble caught drunk driver, I'm so sorry, luckily no harm came to anyone but the point remains I should of never created the risk in the first place, again I'm so sorry and feel so ashamed
The father who lost his wife, and 2 children, plus others....just broke my heart 😭 For those who drink & drive, and DESTROY families (and they are still alive after killing someone with their car) they deserve life in prison. LIFE. Because it's not INVOLUNTARY, it's VOLUNTARY. You CHOSE TO DRINK AND DRIVE. NO one forced you.
@@katiecrookshanks3374 YUP. It rarely kills the drunk, or high driver....it always kills the innocent. And, than you have the audacity to turn on LIVE FB, and LIE that she came onto your lane? And, instead of going to check on the person YOU hit, if you have no injuries, you DON'T?! When her husband said, I was on the phone with her, and I heard that blood curdling scream, then the crash, and than silent....HE KNEW. What pissed me off is he thought he could lie, and get out of it. LISTEN UP DRUNK DRIVERS, DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO LIE....COPS ALWAYS INVESTIGATE. This pos took 2 lives. He killed a mother, wife, sister, daughter and a child. YES, I AGREE. If you CHOOSE TO DRINK AND GET BEHIND THE WHEEL, it should be premeditated. Why? because YOU CHOSE TO DRINK, YOU CHOSE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL NOT GIVING A CARE OF WHOS LIFE YOU'LL END, AND HOW MANY LIVES.
my mommy world at Mothers agants drunk driveing and at the vips she shows this video to the class the reason i say this is because when i was nineteen months i was IM a crash in kentucky and i lost my daddy but think God i have my sister april and my mommy :'(
I'm here because of a drunk class that I have to attend because I crashed into someone else with my car while drunk driving. Luckily no one was seriously injured. But I wish that I'd seen videos like this before the whole incident
3 times drink driving, no crashes no victims fortunately but that's not the point, do not be stupid like me and drink and drive just never drink and drive get a taxi
i’m glad you’re self aware and feel regret, be safe out there and remember to take others into consideration, don’t be the person that takes away someone else’s whole world.
Yes you do, the shame I feel for live is a loss to me but the most important thing is no one was harmed by my drink driving and that is the most important not how I feel
this video breaks me in two. one anger one sorrow lives gone the suffering for nothing. WHY can they not have sensors in cars or something that locks the ignition or SOMETHING
anyways..i said that but that would just make to much sense its all so wrong i cannot believe these people actually get out of bed in the morning..god bless you all my heart is filled with love for you all
They do. The breathalyzers nowadays have cameras in them and won't start the engine unless BAC is 0.00 I know this because I'm a first time offender (I didn't crash and no one got hurt) that made a mistake and thankfully I get it removed in may
One irresponsible idiot can destroy many peoples lives by drinking and driving I lost a good friend in November of 1975 because he chose to drink and drive He ended up killing another woman when he hit her head on. I remember being so angry at him for drinking and driving but I was really angry because he killed another human being People please don’t drink and drive
I was a teenager we had a swimming pool and friends used to come over from school everyday to swim for hours a. I was supposed to go to a local park with 3 of my friends that had just been at my house the day before but I couldn't go. I remember the reason was real silly. My dad was a fireman right downtown from our house and where the park was. My 3 friends were walking from the park on there way to my house. A drunk driver came a hit all 3 girls. They were pinned up against a cement wall it was a horrific sight. My dad had to literally shovel their remains off the road. He couldn't sleep for weeks because he knew them he had just seen them the day before. He didn't tell me for years. A drunk driver who didn't even care he had just killed 3 teenage girls between 11 and 13 years old.
I think MADD needs to address non violent first time dui offenders the impact it has on them, those who never hurt anyone, no damage done, just made a mistake, the the toll mentally anxiety to that person, suicidal ideation and depression, but i dont think MADD cares about that, i think MADD should provide suicide counceling but they wont, many first timers commit suicide.
Say you are A MADD Member in a State that outlaws the Consumption of Alcohol by all Persons under the Age of 21, you are at a Wedding and right in front of you a 19 year Old Bridesmaid gulps down a single Glass of Red Wine (She does not have a Car or A Driving Licence) Do you call the Police and have her Arrested?.
its not about money, its about the wrong we've done. how anybody could criticize these or any group that gives these people there say. yes i'm one of the d.u.i offenders. K.Marriott
Thank you and God bless you. I survived an accident as a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver. I admit as a 13 year old at the time I made a stupid decision to get in that car. He was an adult who actually thought it was funny. I will always have pain which reminds me of the accident, but I pray that others learn from this by people speaking out against it. Make better decisions folks. Learn from these videos people have take much time, expense and effort making and stay alive, don't drink and drive. 👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
A lot of MADD activists had to give victim impact statements, knowing they were also talking about themselves. They desperately want to pretend their own past DWI crimes are not their own fault, but the fault of a society that was permissive about young persons drinking alcohol. So they push for stricter laws against being younger than 21. The drunk driver could have called a taxicab, but what are Mr. and Mrs. Twenty supposed to do, build a time machine?
Wonder why all the videos for madd Canada are all comments disabled? I have a pretty good idea and you do too. Don't even try to ask them about their donation practices and where/who the money goes to. Bunch of neo prohibitionists. They should just rename themselves mad, mothers against drinking. That's their only agenda now. When the founding person quits because of all the above mentioned, it makes one think.
On 2 March 2006 a guy in Burton, Ohio was driving drunk (0.26% BAC), driving left of center, speeding and driving under suspension. MADD activists will be happy to learn, at least he wasn't drinking under age. He was 47. He crashed head-on into a car with three Hiram College students. Andrew Hopkins and Grace Chamberlain were 18, and they never got a chance to drink alcohol legally. MADD activists will be happy to learn, at least he wasn't buying for them. He had ELEVEN prior DWI's, Meanwhile, MADD pushed for tougher laws to punish anybody younger than 21 who drinks alcohol responsibly. MADD doesn't care about the carnage on the roads, they just hate everybody younger than 21.
nah they aren’t doing anything wrong by being out late at night, what are YOU doing out late at night driving drunk putting OTHERS at risk. NOBODY is going to make accommodations for you so you can drive drunk at night without risks or consequences.
Sorry for your loss but no excuses for your modern day witch hunt. how many families has your vendetta impacted..... why did your founder leave......because you people are out of control.....

I think MADD needs to address non violent first time dui offenders the impact it has on them, those who never hurt anyone, no damage done, just made a mistake, the the toll mentally anxiety to that person, suicidal ideation and depression, but i dont think MADD cares about that, i think MADD should provide suicide counceling but they wont, many first timers commit suicide.
I think they should just go ahead and take themselves out then. Drunk drivers are the filth of the fucking earth.
Press 'F' to pay respeccs

in the video.
This why I believe in the self driving smart cars will would save many lives by doing the driving for instead of yourself. 😉😢😍
Who else here from dwi classes
OG RIDAH ZAC!!
Me!
Say you are A MADD Member in a State that outlaws the Consumption of Alcohol by all Persons under the Age of 21, you are at a Wedding and right in front of you a 19 year Old Bridesmaid gulps down a single Glass of Red Wine (She does not have a Car or A Driving Licence) Do you call the Police and have her Arrested?.
What happened to MADD... They disappeared and our loved ones are being killed and injured by the tens of thousands every year by the DRUNKEN S O B's..
thank god madd doesnt go after bars serving drunk drivers
What?
its not about money, its about the wrong we've done. how anybody could criticize these or any group that gives these people there say. yes i'm one of the d.u.i offenders. K.Marriott
Thank you and God bless you. I survived an accident as a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver. I admit as a 13 year old at the time I made a stupid decision to get in that car. He was an adult who actually thought it was funny. I will always have pain which reminds me of the accident, but I pray that others learn from this by people speaking out against it. Make better decisions folks. Learn from these videos people have take much time, expense and effort making and stay alive, don't drink and drive. 👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Its about money, if not they would have equally harsh punishments for texting drivers but nope.
No, it's about money now.
I dont think MADD takes into account how many suicides happen to those arrested for duis.
So! They took a life with their choices
If everyone that drinks and drive then kills someone commits suicide, is that really a bad thing.
@@katiecrookshanks3374 yes, it is. Alcohol kills, period.
A lot of MADD activists had to give victim impact statements, knowing they were also talking about themselves. They desperately want to pretend their own past DWI crimes are not their own fault, but the fault of a society that was permissive about young persons drinking alcohol. So they push for stricter laws against being younger than 21. The drunk driver could have called a taxicab, but what are Mr. and Mrs. Twenty supposed to do, build a time machine?
I don’t understand the point you are trying to make?
If i lost my family in a drunk driving crash I'd start drinking
Death sentence for Drunk Driving deaths. Period.
and death penalty for rapists period :(
I agree
Awful. God Bless !
I would say alcohol should be illegal but the U.S. has already tried that and matter's only got worse😡
I don't like just the idea of alcohol the effect makes people sad. a lot of kids my age think it will make them cool. it makes me sad😔
No mean to be rude but these people called my house repeatedly asking for money. Stop calling my fucking house.
Wonder why all the videos for madd Canada are all comments disabled? I have a pretty good idea and you do too. Don't even try to ask them about their donation practices and where/who the money goes to. Bunch of neo prohibitionists. They should just rename themselves mad, mothers against drinking. That's their only agenda now. When the founding person quits because of all the above mentioned, it makes one think.
idc at all
On 2 March 2006 a guy in Burton, Ohio was driving drunk (0.26% BAC), driving left of center, speeding and driving under suspension. MADD activists will be happy to learn, at least he wasn't drinking under age. He was 47. He crashed head-on into a car with three Hiram College students. Andrew Hopkins and Grace Chamberlain were 18, and they never got a chance to drink alcohol legally. MADD activists will be happy to learn, at least he wasn't buying for them. He had ELEVEN prior DWI's, Meanwhile, MADD pushed for tougher laws to punish anybody younger than 21 who drinks alcohol responsibly. MADD doesn't care about the carnage on the roads, they just hate everybody younger than 21.
are you sure
THEY FAIL TO SAY MOST PEOPLE KILLED BY DRUNK DRIVERS ARE DRUNK THEMSELVES WHY WHERE THEY OUT THAT LATE PUTTING THEMSELVES AT RISK FROM DRUNK DRIVERS
U can't be serious 😒
A lot of drunk drivers walk away where their occupants are either severely injured or killed.
Idiot alert
nah they aren’t doing anything wrong by being out late at night, what are YOU doing out late at night driving drunk putting OTHERS at risk. NOBODY is going to make accommodations for you so you can drive drunk at night without risks or consequences.
We have an organization in Northern Ontario called D.A.M.M... DRUNKS AGAINST MAD MOTHERS...LOL
Dads Against Mad Mothers. I have the Tee-shirt.

@@cpmffeilberg4970 can you stop with the emoji spam
MADD takes a bad situation and makes it worse with all the years young people spend in prison thanks to the gross over reaction it has caused.
Couldn't be more correct. Amen brotha
@steve b Steve B is a good sample of the caliber of people that blindly support MADD. Steve B just wished death upon a person. What a good guy.
Sorry for your loss but no excuses for your modern day witch hunt. how many families has your vendetta impacted..... why did your founder leave......because you people are out of control.....
More people need to be made aware of this. MADD is nothing but a witch hunt and a bunch of neo prohibitionists out to make billions.
did the founder of mad not get a dui.
No. she quit due to neo prohibitionist ways that the group has turned to, that and the greedy profit keeping ways they have adopted.
@@xtr3m3fLx what about Debbie Overland, former president of MADD who got a dui?
Mothers against Drunk Driving Suck making laws way to tough
Where was Madd when Marco Mussio got his sweet heart deal
