An alleged drunk driver was left red-faced when he received a wake-up call from police after he nodded off at the wheel at a drive-through.
The young man was craving fast food on his way home early Sunday morning after a big night out and stopped at a fast food restaurant in Preston in Melbourne‘s north-east.
Police were called to the Bell Street venue following reports a man driving a Ford Ranger had fallen asleep at the wheel while placing his breakfast order.

Instead of being asked ‘would you like fines with that?’, the driver woken up with police tapping on his window, armed with a breathalyser.
The man, 20, underwent a breath test which allegedly returned a positive result.
He was taken to a police station where he allegedly returned a reading of 0.233, almost five times over the legal limit.
His licence was immediately suspended while his vehicle was impounded for 30 days.
