A California man brought the concept of ironic justice to unseen heights earlier this week when he was arrested for [drunk driving](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/16672/man-scores-his-seventh-drunk-driving-arrest-after-crashing-corvette-at-10-a-m>) in a car bearing a giant anti-drunk driving billboard on the roof.

The Oakland division of the [California Highway Patrol](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/26409/california-police-use-helicopter-five-car-squad-to-catch-kid-doing-donuts-on-rural-road>) triumphantly posted a photo of the too-perfect bust on their [Twitter](<https://twitter.com/CHPoakland/status/1099716272177111040>) and [Facebook](<https://www.facebook.com/OaklandCHP370/posts/2289501341094561?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAzidZnYoIC2f13kUcMuHwfiJ3GUhHr_umLeRo8fRtBRmOHiEPRckuMiLtl6DLZifa5PMvEqPV0cEh3fCoWGeC3Y3s7ce7i9wYAvSvwcPKmr8YqD374rJGEMS6CVxt_gmRMVrFNlLQpkgNGP2WyutABP5UUUGd2cBOOFt0YL21ZaXCQMKDdjTnpLSi7aQnO04iheRLE8wx8kx1eXALHKBz98KHShARjKNMYPPYaeAWYdrT-qf9rzOwAihzHq_C-h5zM-YAP0EjZ1oPKdI9pB81L9G5ldo5H2ijwo8vHhAjC-DrO4obWmUcTFOkC-3fcT5cB7BJL5wPeOv3lryKhUtHsng&__tn__=-R>) pages, which shows a Toyota Corolla bathed in the soothing red-and-blue lights of a police cruiser. On the Corolla's roof sits one of those large billboards you see on taxis and rideshare vehicles—only instead of displaying an ad, it's carrying a public service announcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the [dangers of drunk driving.](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/25967/drunk-mother-busted-for-driving-150-mph-with-son-in-car-says-she-was-teaching-him-a-lesson>)

"I should probably get a ride home," the sign reads, followed by "Buzzed driving is drunk driving" in angry red letters. Helpfully, the tweet also includes a screenshot of the dictionary definition of irony.

According to the CHP, the driver was spotted weaving across three lanes of I-80 near Berkeley at 4 a.m. on Sunday and promptly pulled over. A [breathalyzer](<https://www.thedrive.com/reviews/28037/best-breathalyzers>) test revealed he was "way over" the legal limit of 0.08 percent. Thankfully, he was also alone in the car; the report doesn't say whether he worked for a major rideshare service like Lyft or Uber.

To keep you and your loved ones safe on the road, remember the signs of a drunk driver: Difficulty keeping their lane. Sudden, erratic movements. Oh, and an anti-drunk driving billboard on the roof.
