Had one too many beers with some mates downtown and feel that driving will get you in big trouble? Of course, you can take a cab, but then you’ll have to come back and collect your car tomorrow, so why not killing two birds with one stone?
Although there are some companies that provide you a driver on a foldable moped to collect the drunk you and your vehicle after hard partying, this guy here decided to benefit more from his insurance and pranked the company to give him a tow back back home.

How you do that? Pull out a plug or an important fuse on your car and call the AAA. Tell them your car is not working and demand to be given a piggyback ride on a flatbed truck home where you’ll fix the car for yourself.

The trick really worked and the man in the video bellow filmed the whole experience. And the fact he was a bit drunk makes it even funnier.

Of course, on order to pull such a maneuver, you first have to be an AAA (or similar service) member. The basic membership in this case offers non-stop road assistance, with 3 driving miles or unlimited towing back to a service provider per service call.

However, if you’re an AAA Plus member, you get 100 driving miles per service call, so you can have a drink pretty far away from home. Still, you shouldn’t abuse this service as the company won’t be quite happy when it will discover you’re framing a damaged car needing a tow scenario.
