From huffingtonpost.com -FARMINGTON, N.M. (AP) -- A New Mexico man hogtied a suspected drunken driver accused of barely avoiding several head-on collisions on a stretch of highway that has recently become known for rampant drunken driving and traffic fatalities, authorities said.  Justin Canuto was seen driving southbound in the northbound lanes of U.S. 550 on Sunday night, the Farmington Daily Times reported. The 22-year-old pulled over next to a convenience store where he was confronted by several witnesses who had followed him into the store's parking lot. Canuto became belligerent and tried to run away, prompting another man to tackle and hogtie him before sheriff's deputies arrived, San Juan County Sheriff's Sgt. Al Jamison said. Canuto was later charged with drunken driving.  More News New Mexico

Such persons shouldn't get a driving license....I understand those that speed on the highway but drinking and driving are two activities that can't work together, only if you want to end up in jail.
But some of us think different after drinking a few beers and this is the main reason why I heard about many impaired driving Toronto cases lately...Putting them in jail is the only solution to stop this trend.
