Real or not we get bombarded by them nowadays. A 40 minutes show lasts 60 minutes with ads in between nowadays. What's most irritating about them all is that they usually come on just before something exciting is about to happen forcing you to watch the ads as you wait in anticipation to find out what was going to happen next in the show or movie. Isn't that a frustrating killjoy? That's why most our prime TV stations are 'free' to view whereas in England for example you must pay a yearly TV license fee to have an antenna to watch live TV, but it's mostly Ad free during a show or movie and much less frequent. We just pay for it in a different annoying way. I never watch TV shows or movies on TV. I resort to platforms such as Netflix and the like.
A few years back they installed breathalysers in Australian pubs and Bars. The problem is that Bar goers would see whom could hit the highest number resulting in excessive drinking.
@@MellTaylor83they have them on the Gold Coast, or they did 3 or 4 years ago at least, not in the pubs like they say but on street corners. The boys and I used to always see who could blow the highest 😂
Since when are all Aussie cops "chilled"? Half of them are but half of them are aggressive megalomaniacs on a power trip. And when have you ever dealt with an American cop? Just the ones you have seen on the news acting like dickheads... But you ignore the thousands that are working with their communities everyday and saving people's lives.
Thats because not everyone could have a gun. The majoritive default is unnarmed. Whether innocent or guilty of whatever, the majoritive default is unnarmed. In america, its who knows espiecially in a society in which teenagers have guns and no ones afraid to use them
What's the weather situation? Is it a windy day or is it hot and humid with no breeze.. Also what kind of flies are we talking.. just regular house flies?
Regarding your comment re cops and sense of humour. We are very lucky to have a great police force. Of course there are a few bad apples, but on the whole they are great. I think the fact that there are not constantly under threat of being shot allows them to be a lot more relaxed and chill.
I live in western Australia. Years ago I was at a bar with my sister. When they closed a couple of police officers showed up to ask if anyone wanted to be breathalyzed before driving home to make sure everyone was safe to drive. My sister said yes and was a bit over the limit, so they suggested hanging out for a bit and drinking some water. The cops waited patiently just hanging out chatting to people until everyone left. My sister asked to be tested again and passed and we went home. The police officers were really friendly. It was cool to see some awesome police officers just looking out for people and making sure everyone was safe. I've met some cops that were kinda di**s but the majority have been pretty cool.
My son just got his licence back after 4yrs loss for drink driving, he has to have the breathalyser installed in his car for 12 months. It has been a long expensive road to get to this point both mental and financially. He started his first day at his new job today so he is finally getting the new start he needed. It's a very hard lesson to learn but I can tell you it works for guys like him.
@@littlecatfeet9064 he was caught drink driving twice a week apart. He refused to go with them to the station following a positive result which results in a 2yr loss. The police took their time with the second summons so he wasn't able to put both chargers into the 1 appearance so he received 2yrs for the first and 2yrs for the 2nd. Plus he was a P plater at the time so he shouldn't have been drinking when driving at all. He was lucky it was only his licence he lost. Valuable lesson learnt anyhow.
"Ute" is shorthand for a utility vehicle. It is generally a car based vehicle that has a tray or tub at the back for carrying things. Americans call them "trucks". However, the size difference between an Aussie ute and an American truck is significant. Utes, even the four wheel drive versions, are substantially smaller than American trucks.
I'm not an American... but what you are calling a 'truck' sounds like a 'pickup' to me. In my understanding a truck is a lorry.. at least we called them that in Ireland when I was a kid learning to speak English in 73... the language has changed since, so 🤷♂️
These Aussie cops, and Britt police too, approach members of the public with humour and respect...such a contrast to the American officers who, even during a perceived traffic violation, act as though they have a mass murderer in their sights! 😞
What do you expect from someone who only learned the job for a few weeks..... US Cops have on average less than 25 weeks training. There are some that have less than 12 weeks and at max 42 weeks depending on the county
Ooo you’re keeping me hanging for part 3!! The ads are definitely real and are shown on regular tv not just RUclips. I think the kid does still have drugs in his system and the last bloke will blow about 0.150. The attitude that you get from police here usually reflects the attitude you give them. If you’re being difficult and informing them of your rights or something silly like that, they’re more likely to ruin your day.
My mate got done on this show many years ago. He still has his episode on a burnt DVD. This, Bush Mechanics and Motorway patrol were some of the funniest shows on ever shown on Australian tv All those ads are real as well. I knew more than one person who bet on the Us election.
A personal breathalyser isn't a bad idea, but it should be noted that blood alcohol levels continue to change over time. You could leave a bar blowing a BAC of 0.04 and still get pulled over with a BAC of 0.06, depending on when your last drink was.
Yes, they aren’t reliable to use directly after drinking. They are good for the morning after a large drinking session. A colleague was breathalysed at 11am and was over the limit, a personal breathalyser would have prevented him from driving had he used one
Some friends and I visited some pals who owned a pub. Naturally we stayed on after closing time. We left at about 3 a.m to go home. I was designated driver. I had a pint of shandy when we arrived and drank tomato juice for the rest of the evening. Everyone else drank quite heavily. We got stopped by the UK police and as I wound down the window to speak to the officer, he was almost knocked out by the alcoholic fumes coming from the car. His little face lit up and thought all his birthdays had come at once. Having passed the breathaliser test, I asked why we had been stopped. He said it was because I was driving within the speed limit which was unusual on that particular road at that time in the morning
I was returning from a night out where I had been designated driver. I was on my own and it was around 3am, at a cross roads about a mile from home a car shot across the cross roads in front of me, missing me by three feet, I had right of way.. The car behind me turned out to be an unmarked police car, his lights and siren went on and he took off after the driver that cut the junction.
Obviously with covid shutting down a lot of things - sports included - the betting websites had to think up ways to still make a profit. So they started up ones where you could bet what colour tie the Prime Minster would wear on the next public speech etc etc. 😅
In 2011, I was living 'Up North', and got pulled up on the highway at about 10am. The local cops asked if I'd been drinking and I told them that yeah, we'd all had a big night but my last drink was 4am. I said, "I'll probably go about .03". I blew in the machine and went .032. The cops laughed and said, "Thanks for being honest, mate. Off ya go." I also passed three breath tests and two random drug tests in one weekend when there was a festival on. The passing of the drug tests was a bit surprising ;) I was smoking a bit of weed at the time.
The drug tests aren't always accurate. A mate got pulled up by HWP and failed a roadside test. He ate a banana before the second test, and received a letter in the mail a month saying he was all good to drive
Australia has some legendary ads that have aired over the years that might be worth checking out if you haven’t seen them! Maybe a new video checking out a compilation?
"I've had half a bottle of bourbon, 17 beers and some tequila shots. I'm driving to the Bottle O to pick up some more beers and bourbon. " What too many Aussies say
i had something similar one new years eve, but because i had a good reason to drive due to the safety and wellbeing of a friend they decided to not breath test me i explained my Story i was 100% honest when they came to my window and i had never had any major bad driving record they sat at the back of my car for 10 minutes then said we advise you to do what you need to do then go home, stunned i said No I'm going to leave my car here and walk home. they said that's a very good decision and if anything is wrong with my friend to give them a call. i told them i had a 10pack of jack Daniels and a few beers and my last drink was only 5- 10 mins ago, this happened in Brisbane Australia. not all cops are bad, my friend was a young lady same age as me at the time. they were very understanding of my concerns.
Hi from Tasmania just adding to story ,A music festival finished today near me 4 day event people camp at . The police breath and drug tested 1500 people leaving. About 25 were charged,
13:23 I've been alcoholic for last 12 years believe me even some of the closest people don't realise you are drunk because you learn how to function in a society, especially at work
@@Mirrorgirl492 - It doesn't matter where you go you are still you and Meth is everywhere. I live in a small Barossa town of about 400 people and I could probably find Meth here within a short time if I was motivated to do so.
@@Mirrorgirl492 - It might break it temporarily but eventually that person will find the drug. The process of relocating is called doing a geographical and it really doesn't work. Once the reward circuits are primed in the brain that's usually it for that person and only a tiny percentage will make it back from addiction and amongst that percentage relapse rates are huge. Of all the drugs that are out there meth/ice is the worst of the worst and what I fear most about it is the huge health care costs and brain damage that will only become apparent in a decade or two. There seems to be this mentality that it's only meth and at least it's not Heroin when of all the illegal drugs the one that will do the least harm to the human body is actually Heroin. So to any aspiring drug addicts out there Heroin is the choice as its only real health issue (taking away all factors due to it belong illegal) is constipation. I know one guy who has been on Heroin for over 6 decades and if you didn't know you would never guess as to his secret habit. I know another guy who used Heroin for over 40 years who started taking meth and he went from being a functional human to a homeless mess in six months.
Theres a tv show called Territory Cops. I reckon youd like that if you like this one. Its got more variety of crazy people in it. and a Ute is short for Utility. Its a car with a bed on the back for carrying stuff.
The ads are real. Us Aussies will bet on anything, I once placed a bet on a lost cow coming back to it's paddock that was lost in Europe somewhere. That was on Sportsbet too hahaha
P platers if anyone doesn't know, means provisional driver. We have 2 types of p plates red and greens.. you start on your learners which is L plater which is obvious you're a learner driver and need a full licence driver next to you to drive then when u pass a driving test you usually go to red p's first then green p's both with different limits and points depending on state to state. most states will have you on your red p's for a year then upgrade to green p's for 2 years then you upgrade to what some states call your blacks or full licence which will have more demerit points which are what are used for how many times u can be done with speeding or something if u get a speeding fine most are between 1 and 3 demerits and if you're on your ps you have 4 points to lose before a licence suspension and some states stay 4 points till full licence some give more on your greens but on full licence you get 12 to 14 points. and they call them p platers because on your Ls and Ps you MUST display L or P plates of the correct colour on the front and back of your car whilst you drive but full licence obviously doesnt need them so thats why when people go on full licence you will hear them say "I am finally of my p plates"
You are such a smart, well spoken and thoughtful American. Really cool! We don’t see RBT as an infringement on our rights. It’s a shared road and a huge responsibility we all have as motorists to eachother. One child lost to an impaired driver is too many. We welcome the initiative- just do the right thing and you have no dramas.
Driving under the influence of Alcohol or drugs is a huge problem. I work for a state Ambulance Service in Australia and unfortunately too often deal with the horrific outcomes from it. This show is great as it really highlights the issue. It also shows the human side of the Police and that they are regular people with senses of humor and personalities just doing a job. It was great seeing your reaction to it 😄
The real problem is the lack of decent public transport (particularly after 10pm) or safe cycling infrastructure. In Holland I can ride or catch the Metro or tram home after drinking all night no problem, when i used to go out with my mates you either had to plan to get the last train or wait hours for the night buses which were packed and nasty or pay tonnes for taxis.
For repeat offenders, they install a breathalyzer into the ignition system; so to start the car, they have to get a zero reading. If they are pulled over, and have any alcohol in their system; it could end up will jail time, and the person who blew for them would be fined and possible lose of licence.
They've just changed the laws in South Australia.. instant loss of license if drugs detected. And I've known plenty of people who have had incorrect tests, both those who had been on drugs and tested negative... and those who've never touched a drug tested positive. Whilst I agree with road safety, I'm not sure I have confidence in the testing equipment. It was a citation until lab results came in, or you went to court.
I used to teach junkies remedial English and because I was seen in their company by police my name now comes up with a drug alert whenever they see me. They have automatic license plate scanners here so I get pulled over all the time. I can't remember now but my record was either 14 or 17 times in the space of a few weeks.
@Aardvark Biscuit they shouldn't be allowed to do that... best to buy another car 🙂 But good on you for helping the community, just because they made a mistake and formed an addiction many wouldn't bother teaching them a thing. 😊
@Aardvark Biscuit oh, I've only heard of license plates being flagged... that's total bs, what ever happened to pay for your crime by doing the time... and in your case not doing time, being fined, or committing crime. So much for innocent until proven guilty and not profiling people. Feel for you having to go through that all the time.
Yes it is "one of those shows" Commercial TV is almost dead in Aus. Appealing to the lowest common denominator and bulk gambling adds are the only way they can exist.
After he retired my uncle got a well paid job as a driver for a business man who was done for drink driving and also wrote off his Porsche 911. My uncle got two years driving work and also got to keep the Renault when the job finished.
No shit I got stuck in 40 minutes of almost stand still traffic on the Monash freeway because the 4 lanes went to 2 all for this show filming at 1am....
I used to Install the breathalyser devices (Interlock) into cars once people got done for drink driving, if people choose to keep their licence and get an interlock device fitted it cost well over $2000 if you didn't have any violations, and you pay $100 for each violation. Very expensive lesson lol.
The ads are totally real 😂😂. The ‘ute’ is a utility vehicle, like that gold one you drooled over the other day. 0.05 is the lowest limit for BAC. We have varying degrees of fines/loss of points/loss of licence the higher your BAC is. The channel you are watching is Channel 9, one of our four major stations. Highway Patrol is another police show you should look for, as well as Bush Mechanics. Bush Mechanics is just laughter personified 😂😂😂😂. Have a great day, Joel. Love from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Adelaide, South Australia. Australian police stopped using the US sobriety testing BS around 50 years ago. In Adelaide RBT's can not be setup just anywhere the cops choose. Cops are not allowed to block car-park entrances or business entrances during business hours. Even with all the advertising "Don't Drink/Drug Drive" it is amazing how many people still get caught doing it. They are real Ads, but they do vary from state to state.
A Ute, is short for Utility. The idea was that if you put a tray on the back for work purposes, and a cab on the front, for people, you can have one car for work and play, though the first one made was 'cause the wife wanted it to go to church on the weekends, in a neat, clean vehicle.
In Britain they have to wait 20 minutes because you still have the last drink in your mouth. If you belch or vomit, they also have to wait 20 minutes. A 50 after 2 beers in the street often becomes a 25 45 minutes later at the station. [ UK is 35 mls/deciliter ]
Just to let you know we don't really have our own breathalysers here, I've never seen one and didn't know you could. And totally normal ads, sports bet ones are always good 😆
A ute is short for utility vehicle, most often a station wagon type without the covered back. You can see it in the video, just the front seat of the car, and the sides supporting the flat area at the back.
A Ute is a utility vehicle, a real Aussie drive a Toyota Hilux Ute, they're unbreakable. Ice has become a big problem in some parts of Australia, random stops help so much.
The experienced cops become good at judging people. If they think the person is going to be a potential threat to anyone, for example if that person gets agro, they will more than likely call for a paddy wagon to take them away. But yes, normally people who get stopped for a random breath test aren't looking to make trouble so the cops treat them with more respect.
Please watch "Just waiting for a mate" !!! I can't remember what episode it's on, I actually think it's from one of our normal cop shows, not just the RBT show. The 7 minute clip is on RUclips
Yes, those ads are the normal ads on Aussie TV. Suppose its better then constant ads for prescription medication and the long lists of side effects on American TV. I don't agree with showing betting on TV tho. Shady practice if you ask me.
I have a mate who has been on this show twice and his daughter as well (not good tbh), He gets his licence back after nearly 10 years without one - he is not drinking anymore and has survived some almighty solo car crashes (even made the newspapers).
When I was much younger I got done dui. Not for nothing, I quit drinking because I was an alcoholic. Getting in trouble forced me to re-evaluate my life choices which prevented more mistakes in the future. Getting caught, while expensive and stupid helped me to kick the habit. After being dry for a decade I started to have (strictly) one or two drinks but never drive afterwards. I take the same attitude with medical cannabis now - I refuse to drive when I've consumed anything. Life choices fixed, all from a teenaged fk-up.
RBT is one of my favourite shows, only beaten by Territory Cops. I'm all for the booze/drug buses and roving RBT sites. They help keep the idiots off the road, same with roving speed cameras.
Ute is Australian for a utility, or what most of the rest of the English speaking world would call a pick up. The original utes were car based rather than anything big enough to call a pick up truck, and supposedly it was farmers wanting a vehicle they could take a pig to market in the week but go to church in on Sundays. These days nobody’s making car based utes anymore but if an Aussie buys a Ford Raptor or something they’ll probably refer to it as “the ute”. Oh, and those ads are absolutely legit. Australians will bet on two flies crawling up a window, but US presidential elections are such a song and dance even British bookmakers will take bets on them. Sportsbet probably has funnier ads than most though.
13:35 I don't drink much but I am still good at not acting drunk lol. like Ive been like numb everything, can't focus my eyes on stuff anymore, and still look sober enough to order more drinks or purchase at a bottle shop.
In case you didn't know, these are not actors but real police officers and real events. You really need to watch the whole things from start to end as the different situations keep on popping up throughout the whole show. A Ute is short for a Utility truck or pickup to you.
If you know what a Chevy El Camino or a Ford Ranchero is they are what we call utes. Different to a pickup, as a pickup has separate cab and cargo deck.
It's all in an effort to reduce the road toll by showing the legal consequences of driving while intoxicated (alcohol, meth, MJ, Coke etc etc). Habitual offenders will end up serving a spell in gaol (jail). Even if personal use of the intoxicant is legal, operation of a vehicle while affected by such is still a criminal offence.
Of course, other than in very rural areas, public transport is a good option for those who want to go partying or clubbing, or even out for a pub supper in most countries.
I'm loving the reaction and this literally showed someone from a suburb over from me. Funny enough I knew it was south Adelaide from the cops, Ive chatted to one of them at the local mall 🤣 I hope do more of these because your reaction to it is amazing. Also the ads are legit, we have to sit through so much of this on FTA TV 😐

"I've had half a bottle of bourbon, 17 beers and some tequila shots. I'm driving to the Bottle O to pick up some more beers and bourbon. " What too many Aussies say
i had something similar one new years eve, but because i had a good reason to drive due to the safety and wellbeing of a friend they decided to not breath test me i explained my Story i was 100% honest when they came to my window and i had never had any major bad driving record they sat at the back of my car for 10 minutes then said we advise you to do what you need to do then go home, stunned i said No I'm going to leave my car here and walk home. they said that's a very good decision and if anything is wrong with my friend to give them a call. i told them i had a 10pack of jack Daniels and a few beers and my last drink was only 5- 10 mins ago, this happened in Brisbane Australia. not all cops are bad, my friend was a young lady same age as me at the time. they were very understanding of my concerns.
@@TheTazzietiger not if ur pissed
Hi from Tasmania just adding to story ,A music festival finished today near me 4 day event people camp at . The police breath and drug tested 1500 people leaving. About 25 were charged,
13:23 I've been alcoholic for last 12 years believe me even some of the closest people don't realise you are drunk because you learn how to function in a society, especially at work
You learn to tolerate it. I mean, it would take me 2 cans to get pissed where as my brother 2 slabs.
you make this show so enjoyable to watch.
Dude you watch the just waiting for a mate episode best one yet
Gotta watch the episode “just waiting on a mate” 😂😂😂😂😂. So funny
that 23 year old that's been using meth for 2 years was actually heartbreaking. Poor bloke
I really hope he got out of Geelong and had a fresh start.
@@Mirrorgirl492 - It doesn't matter where you go you are still you and Meth is everywhere. I live in a small Barossa town of about 400 people and I could probably find Meth here within a short time if I was motivated to do so.
@@aardvarkbiscuit2677 I hear what you are saying, but often it is the people you associate with, changing town can break the cycle.
@@Mirrorgirl492 - It might break it temporarily but eventually that person will find the drug. The process of relocating is called doing a geographical and it really doesn't work. Once the reward circuits are primed in the brain that's usually it for that person and only a tiny percentage will make it back from addiction and amongst that percentage relapse rates are huge. Of all the drugs that are out there meth/ice is the worst of the worst and what I fear most about it is the huge health care costs and brain damage that will only become apparent in a decade or two. There seems to be this mentality that it's only meth and at least it's not Heroin when of all the illegal drugs the one that will do the least harm to the human body is actually Heroin. So to any aspiring drug addicts out there Heroin is the choice as its only real health issue (taking away all factors due to it belong illegal) is constipation. I know one guy who has been on Heroin for over 6 decades and if you didn't know you would never guess as to his secret habit. I know another guy who used Heroin for over 40 years who started taking meth and he went from being a functional human to a homeless mess in six months.
I really do hope that the 23 year old young man can turn his life around 🙏😢❤ I'm sure it was a wake up call for him!
Keep going mate I’m enjoying these reaction vids
Theres a tv show called Territory Cops. I reckon youd like that if you like this one. Its got more variety of crazy people in it. and a Ute is short for Utility. Its a car with a bed on the back for carrying stuff.
The ads are real. Us Aussies will bet on anything, I once placed a bet on a lost cow coming back to it's paddock that was lost in Europe somewhere. That was on Sportsbet too hahaha
😂😂😂 hahaha that's hilarious
P platers if anyone doesn't know, means provisional driver. We have 2 types of p plates red and greens.. you start on your learners which is L plater which is obvious you're a learner driver and need a full licence driver next to you to drive then when u pass a driving test you usually go to red p's first then green p's both with different limits and points depending on state to state. most states will have you on your red p's for a year then upgrade to green p's for 2 years then you upgrade to what some states call your blacks or full licence which will have more demerit points which are what are used for how many times u can be done with speeding or something if u get a speeding fine most are between 1 and 3 demerits and if you're on your ps you have 4 points to lose before a licence suspension and some states stay 4 points till full licence some give more on your greens but on full licence you get 12 to 14 points. and they call them p platers because on your Ls and Ps you MUST display L or P plates of the correct colour on the front and back of your car whilst you drive but full licence obviously doesnt need them so thats why when people go on full licence you will hear them say "I am finally of my p plates"
You are such a smart, well spoken and thoughtful American. Really cool! We don’t see RBT as an infringement on our rights. It’s a shared road and a huge responsibility we all have as motorists to eachother. One child lost to an impaired driver is too many. We welcome the initiative- just do the right thing and you have no dramas.
Another good video, it’s hilarious we always guessed how much someone was over. Just love your reaction to the voice over guys.
The people who have their face blurred means theyre currently going to court or waiting for the charge to be heard.
14:41 A Ute is like a "truck" but closer to the ground. You guys in America had them they were called El Caminos.
Ford Rancheros as well, and Dodge did one, can't remember it's name
@@adrianmclean9195 Dodge Rampage
@@DaleTuck31 Cool, thanks 👍
great series dude - and yes, those are "normal" ads for us lol
Bro don't worry about laughing, we do too haha
Driving under the influence of Alcohol or drugs is a huge problem. I work for a state Ambulance Service in Australia and unfortunately too often deal with the horrific outcomes from it. This show is great as it really highlights the issue. It also shows the human side of the Police and that they are regular people with senses of humor and personalities just doing a job.
It was great seeing your reaction to it 😄
No point being angry at him. Light hearted the only way to deal with thr young .
Moral of the Story: “The result leaves the Cherry Ripe Theory in tatters.” is the new “The woman was too stunned to speak.”
The real problem is the lack of decent public transport (particularly after 10pm) or safe cycling infrastructure. In Holland I can ride or catch the Metro or tram home after drinking all night no problem, when i used to go out with my mates you either had to plan to get the last train or wait hours for the night buses which were packed and nasty or pay tonnes for taxis.
There's a big problem with that because here in Australia you can get done for drinking and riding a bike or a horse for that matter😂🇦🇺
'Warning "This tv show is addictive 🇭🇲 😂
For repeat offenders, they install a breathalyzer into the ignition system; so to start the car, they have to get a zero reading. If they are pulled over, and have any alcohol in their system; it could end up will jail time, and the person who blew for them would be fined and possible lose of licence.
Another good one you’d like is Bondi Rescue. It’s a show about life savours on Australia’s most populous beach
How times have changed. When I got my licence in SA in 1986 the alcohol limit was •08, even for P plates.
P.S. I would like to see you do a reaction on Australian TV ads, you have already seen a few 😉😏
Haha! You’ve caught on to the game! Guess what they blow!
They've just changed the laws in South Australia.. instant loss of license if drugs detected. And I've known plenty of people who have had incorrect tests, both those who had been on drugs and tested negative... and those who've never touched a drug tested positive. Whilst I agree with road safety, I'm not sure I have confidence in the testing equipment. It was a citation until lab results came in, or you went to court.
I used to teach junkies remedial English and because I was seen in their company by police my name now comes up with a drug alert whenever they see me. They have automatic license plate scanners here so I get pulled over all the time. I can't remember now but my record was either 14 or 17 times in the space of a few weeks.
@Aardvark Biscuit they shouldn't be allowed to do that... best to buy another car 🙂 But good on you for helping the community, just because they made a mistake and formed an addiction many wouldn't bother teaching them a thing. 😊
@@ThatguyPurps - Makes no difference as I have to register the car in my name and so ......
@Aardvark Biscuit oh, I've only heard of license plates being flagged... that's total bs, what ever happened to pay for your crime by doing the time... and in your case not doing time, being fined, or committing crime. So much for innocent until proven guilty and not profiling people. Feel for you having to go through that all the time.
Mate you are 1 episode in and have worked out what RBT is about. Guessing their BAC number or if they are positive/negative haha.
RBT, Australia's best game show 🤣 is he positive or negative.... guess the BAC. Its family fun time 🤣🤣
Yes it is "one of those shows" Commercial TV is almost dead in Aus. Appealing to the lowest common denominator and bulk gambling adds are the only way they can exist.
13:00 He just had a drink when he left so that's possible why it's so high. They have to legally give him time for the mouth alcohol to dissipate.
Can’t test again for an hour I think it is to make sure the results are accurate
This show is just full of cliffhangers. Also, the Alcohol level of that last person feels more than .05
Jps needs to watch the one ep with the 'I'm waiting for a mate' guy
Actually in Arizona and in Nevada...they do pull people over to check for random DUIs.. and in NC they do it on the weekends and holidays
Patiently awaiting part 3 😂
After he retired my uncle got a well paid job as a driver for a business man who was done for drink driving and also wrote off his Porsche 911. My uncle got two years driving work and also got to keep the Renault when the job finished.
No shit I got stuck in 40 minutes of almost stand still traffic on the Monash freeway because the 4 lanes went to 2 all for this show filming at 1am....
Crazy good how strict the laws are.
I think Scotland has a zero tolerance policy for drink driving. It’s illegal to have any alcohol & drive
We were on a hotel transfer in Italy and the driver said 'RBT, I love that show' so random 😁
Lol bro those ads are normal. RBT is a prime time show lmfaoooo
Aussie cops with a tv crew have a sense of humour.
great series to watch, there will be loads more episodes on RUclips
some pubs down here also give away / sell cheap one use breathalyzers
I really loved Part 1! The voiceover was very funny 😂
I used to Install the breathalyser devices (Interlock) into cars once people got done for drink driving, if people choose to keep their licence and get an interlock device fitted it cost well over $2000 if you didn't have any violations, and you pay $100 for each violation. Very expensive lesson lol.
The ads are totally real 😂😂. The ‘ute’ is a utility vehicle, like that gold one you drooled over the other day. 0.05 is the lowest limit for BAC. We have varying degrees of fines/loss of points/loss of licence the higher your BAC is. The channel you are watching is Channel 9, one of our four major stations. Highway Patrol is another police show you should look for, as well as Bush Mechanics. Bush Mechanics is just laughter personified 😂😂😂😂. Have a great day, Joel. Love from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Adelaide, South Australia. Australian police stopped using the US sobriety testing BS around 50 years ago.
In Adelaide RBT's can not be setup just anywhere the cops choose. Cops are not allowed to block car-park entrances or business entrances during business hours. Even with all the advertising "Don't Drink/Drug Drive" it is amazing how many people still get caught doing it.
They are real Ads, but they do vary from state to state.
Ah, The Two Ronnies, always good. One of my favourites is the Opticians sketch. Have a great week Joel, John in Canada
A Ute, is short for Utility. The idea was that if you put a tray on the back for work purposes, and a cab on the front, for people, you can have one car for work and play, though the first one made was 'cause the wife wanted it to go to church on the weekends, in a neat, clean vehicle.
In Britain they have to wait 20 minutes because you still have the last drink in your mouth. If you belch or vomit, they also have to wait 20 minutes. A 50 after 2 beers in the street often becomes a 25 45 minutes later at the station. [ UK is 35 mls/deciliter ]
Just to let you know we don't really have our own breathalysers here, I've never seen one and didn't know you could.
And totally normal ads, sports bet ones are always good 😆
A ute is short for utility vehicle, most often a station wagon type without the covered back. You can see it in the video, just the front seat of the car, and the sides supporting the flat area at the back.
Police Ten Seven is New Zealand version that came out before the Aussie one.
So funny!!!
A Ute is a utility vehicle, a real Aussie drive a Toyota Hilux Ute, they're unbreakable.
Ice has become a big problem in some parts of Australia, random stops help so much.
These are 💯 regular ads 😂😂😂
Guessing how far over the limit is half the fun!!! 😂🤙
Those are regular ads! This show is on channel 9, one of our 3 biggest TV channels in Australia!!
Oi JPS, do you like how the cops just put him in the back seat like it's a taxi? No handcuffs, no protectove screens lol.
The experienced cops become good at judging people. If they think the person is going to be a potential threat to anyone, for example if that person gets agro, they will more than likely call for a paddy wagon to take them away. But yes, normally people who get stopped for a random breath test aren't looking to make trouble so the cops treat them with more respect.
Please watch "Just waiting for a mate" !!!
I can't remember what episode it's on, I actually think it's from one of our normal cop shows, not just the RBT show. The 7 minute clip is on RUclips
Yes, those ads are the normal ads on Aussie TV. Suppose its better then constant ads for prescription medication and the long lists of side effects on American TV. I don't agree with showing betting on TV tho. Shady practice if you ask me.

I have a mate who has been on this show twice and his daughter as well (not good tbh),
He gets his licence back after nearly 10 years without one - he is not drinking anymore and has survived some almighty solo car crashes (even made the newspapers).
Here's a playlist full of clips from Highway Patrol Australia
ruclips.net/p/PLFf1zrW8HsFnBGYbThn6KkjCX5hb-dAJO
in Australia some company cars have a breathalyzer inside and won't start until you use it.
When I was much younger I got done dui. Not for nothing, I quit drinking because I was an alcoholic. Getting in trouble forced me to re-evaluate my life choices which prevented more mistakes in the future. Getting caught, while expensive and stupid helped me to kick the habit. After being dry for a decade I started to have (strictly) one or two drinks but never drive afterwards. I take the same attitude with medical cannabis now - I refuse to drive when I've consumed anything. Life choices fixed, all from a teenaged fk-up.
RBT is one of my favourite shows, only beaten by Territory Cops. I'm all for the booze/drug buses and roving RBT sites. They help keep the idiots off the road, same with roving speed cameras.
Ute is Australian for a utility, or what most of the rest of the English speaking world would call a pick up. The original utes were car based rather than anything big enough to call a pick up truck, and supposedly it was farmers wanting a vehicle they could take a pig to market in the week but go to church in on Sundays. These days nobody’s making car based utes anymore but if an Aussie buys a Ford Raptor or something they’ll probably refer to it as “the ute”.
Oh, and those ads are absolutely legit. Australians will bet on two flies crawling up a window, but US presidential elections are such a song and dance even British bookmakers will take bets on them. Sportsbet probably has funnier ads than most though.
13:35 I don't drink much but I am still good at not acting drunk lol. like Ive been like numb everything, can't focus my eyes on stuff anymore, and still look sober enough to order more drinks or purchase at a bottle shop.
Those were real Aussie adds. 😂
In case you didn't know, these are not actors but real police officers and real events. You really need to watch the whole things from start to end as the different situations keep on popping up throughout the whole show. A Ute is short for a Utility truck or pickup to you.
He has done the first part of this episode in another video. He is not just watching bits of it. Go find Part 1, it's on his channel.
If you know what a Chevy El Camino or a Ford Ranchero is they are what we call utes. Different to a pickup, as a pickup has separate cab and cargo deck.
The copper at 7:15 used work the Geelong Police complex watch house 😂 he never warmed the food and his coffee was crap
It's all in an effort to reduce the road toll by showing the legal consequences of driving while intoxicated (alcohol, meth, MJ, Coke etc etc). Habitual offenders will end up serving a spell in gaol (jail). Even if personal use of the intoxicant is legal, operation of a vehicle while affected by such is still a criminal offence.
You should note the amazing absence of handcuffs and physical restraints. Civilized policing.
Of course, other than in very rural areas, public transport is a good option for those who want to go partying or clubbing, or even out for a pub supper in most countries.
hi ,most pubs & clubs have breatherlysers beside the main exit so you can self check before you leave, thats free.
If you like this kind of show, try Bondi Rescue or Ambulance Australia. Similar style.
I'm loving the reaction and this literally showed someone from a suburb over from me. Funny enough I knew it was south Adelaide from the cops, Ive chatted to one of them at the local mall 🤣 I hope do more of these because your reaction to it is amazing. Also the ads are legit, we have to sit through so much of this on FTA TV 😐
