Drunk Traps?

This morning’s coverage of this wreck reminded me of something I once heard a cop say. He thought that the flashing emergency lights on police cars and fire trucks were like magnets to drunks. Something about the flashing lights just seems to draw them in.
That got me to thinking. Someone could set up dummy lights on water barrels beside the road and activate them around 2:00am. I wonder if that would lure drunks into crashing into the barrels? Perhaps it would prevent them from hitting innocent drivers (or cops who seem to get hit by a drunk about once a month around the DFW area).

Social experimentation? Hmmm you would need a control group of non-drunk drivers to go through, then you could unleash the drunks. Any thought to making the flashing lights on top of concrete barriers to allow the drunks to crash and eliminate themselves from the gene pool?
I guess I was feeling generous when I wrote that. Concrete barriers are fine with me as well. Anybody that drunk deserves what they get, provided they don’t hurt anyone else.
