Idiot of the Week: Another Drunk wrong-way driver on Interstate 95 Arrested

It seems to be a thing in northern New England- Driving drunk and getting on a highway, driving in the wrong direction. It's not a good combination and always ends in a crash, often fatal. If you drink, don't drive. It's that simple. There's Uber, Lyft, taxi cabs and buses. I admit I don't drink, so I don't get it, but the thought of accidentally taking another person or animal's life on the road should be horrifying to anyone. Here's this week's idiot of the week, which, fortunately did not wind up killing the person he crashed into.
