NT Police Southern Watch Commander Alistair Gall said the man had fallen asleep in the drive through lane, blocking traffic about 1am this morning.

“A drunk driver fell asleep in his car in the McDonald’s drive through. He was high range,” Snr Sgt Gallsaid.

“Essentially, some other people that were in the drive through weren’t making any progress, they went and had a look at the car in front because the car wasn’t moving, and sure enough, he was asleep in the part where you order your food.”

Snr Sgt Gall said the man was still asleep when police arrived.

“When we arrived … the engine was on,” he said.

“He was given a breath test on scene, he provided a reading of 0.151, three times over the legal limit.”
