A civil engineer found asleep in his work van at a roundabout was among several drivers convicted of drink-driving during Sussex Police’s Operation Limit campaign. The campaign, which took place in December, aimed to reduce incidents of driving under the influence during the holiday season. Notable convictions included a motorcyclist caught speeding after consuming alcohol the night before, a man who crashed into a traffic light while nearly three times over the limit, and a driver caught drinking in a layby after a supermarket visit.
