Transit Police report arresting the 29-year-old driver of a Toyota they say turned onto the inbound Green Line tracks at Brigham Circle around 3 a.m. and then didn't get very far and remained on scene so that officers could determine enough signs of intoxication to warrant an OUI arrest.

This was a week after another Toyota driver allegedly did the same basic thing on the Green Line at Coolidge Corner.

Perhaps if cars were required to also have train wheels as a backup, these situations would clear up much more quickly.

At least these incidents didn't interfere with green line service.

Couple of drunks off the road, too.

Maybe we should have decoy tracks near drinking districts?

A drink New York driver is as bad as sober Boston one.

Some Boston drivers get drunk on just on anger.
Some have self control and even show kindness.
I witnessed both extremes yesterday within five minutes.

...thinking he could just drive over the track and the curb and get back on to the road. Dude, maybe try backing up to the intersection?

But they are doing a great job enforcing OUI laws on the train tracks.
