Video: Police officers bang on BMW car to wake up drunk driver who fell asleep at traffic junction

Oh dear, look at this buffoonery. This drunk driver was lucky enough to avoid getting into a serious traffic accident — but he wasn’t fortunate enough to escape from the clutches of the Z Monster.

Last night, a netizen of Stomp witnessed a troop of police officers and concerned motorists banging on a stationary BMW car at the traffic junction of Bishan Road and Bishan Street 14. Why? They were trying to wake up the driver who’d gone into a super-deep slumber behind the wheel. 

According to the netizen, the totally absurd scene went on for about 20 minutes, as drivers honked their horns, passers-by shook the car and cops strobed their flashlights in the driver’s face to no avail. 

When the sleepy dude finally woke up, he was subjected to a breathalyser test before getting taken away in handcuffs. What a way to wake up. 

Police have confirmed that the 30-year-old man was arrested for drink-driving, while investigations are ongoing. He probably got a good night’s sleep in remand.
