Footage of a driver, who was falling asleep at the wheel after he reportedly crashed into the side of a house, has been shared ahead of the New Year to show the dangers of drink driving.
While on patrol on December 30, South Yorkshire Police officers came across a 40-year-old man asleep in the front seat of a car at the scene of a road traffic collision. When officers approach the vehicle, they suspected the driver was over the prescribed limit of alcohol.

00:15for your drink or drugs, OK?
00:17You do not have to say anything that may harm your defence.
00:19You do not mention when questioned,
00:20something which you later rely on in court.
00:22Anything you do say may be given evidence.
00:24Do you understand?
00:27Fantastic.
00:29Have you had anything to drink tonight?
00:33We're going to put you in another police car.
00:35Yeah. Well, our police car,
00:36because you're in your own car currently.
00:38So we need to take you to the police station, all right?
00:41Yeah. I know you're tired,
00:42but you need to stay away from me for this brief bit.
00:46Yeah, me too. Just step out of the car.
00:48Me too.
00:49So we're going to pop you in this car,
00:51and you get out of the car on your own.
00:52I'll make sure you don't fall over.
00:54Swing them legs. Swing them legs out.
00:57Don't swing that leg out.

01:01Come on. Come on.
01:02Feet out first.
01:05Here we go.

01:16What's your head?
01:17There is a khaki on the passenger.
01:21Will you just get on that side?
01:23Walk for me then.
01:25That's it.
01:28Steady.
01:31Watch yourself.
01:32I'm just going to pop you in the back of this car.
