Christopher Lamping, 20 at the time, was arrested for DUI in Indiana, Pa., after he leaned on the horn repeatedly through three light changes because the car in front of him would not go through the green lights.
The car in front was a marked Indiana police cruiser whose officers were talking to a man on the sidewalk, and after hearing enough of Lamping's horn, one officer walked over and noticed Lamping's odor of alcohol.
According to the Indiana Gazette story, Lamping later explained that he "just didn't think of" driving around the stopped car.
