An expensive lesson and let’s hope he will learn from it and not become a repeat offender. There are already too many morons on our roads, endangering lives and causing damage.

This guy is extremely lucky that the only thing he hurt was a traffic light and his car. Both of these can be replaced. People not so much.
One wonders if all the millions spent on advertising about impaired driving and checking with police check lanes will ever sink into the brains of some drivers.
