A drunk man has been found sleeping in his car on the A12.

Essex Police officer attended what was thought to be a broken down vehicle at Chelmsford.

On arrival, however, members of the Essex Police Roads Police team found it to be a drunk man asleep in his vehicle.

The Force Control room later tweeted that he has been taken to custody to “sleep the alcohol off”.

Earlier this week, Norfolk and Suffolk Roads Policing team tweeted about stopping a driver on the school run who tested positive for drugs while travelling with three young children on board.
