I honestly don't spend much time watching YouTube, the online marketplace for anyone who wants to say nearly anything with a video. But I thought this was a creative and useful tool to warn new drivers, mostly aggressive young males, about the consequences of driving drunk. Afterall, how are you going to teach them?

Anyone who passes a big-rig on the highway knows the feeling -- your heart races, you hold your breath and say a little prayer. You hope the truck driver is paying attention and has had enough sleep that day. But we know from experience that too many truckers on the road are pushing the limits.
