A drunk motorist drove in the wrong direction on a highway before falling asleep in his car in eastern China.

The CCTV video, shot in the city of Qingdao in Shandong Province on September 27, shows a car moving slowly in the wrong direction on a highway.

In another clip, the car was seen stopping in the middle of the road and a road maintenance worker standing beside the car to wave a jacket to alert the passing vehicles.

After the police arrived, they knocked the car window several times and finally woke up the motorist.

After having the breathalyser test, the motorist was confirmed to be driving under the influence.

The motorist's driving licence will be revoked and he will not be allowed to take the driving test in five years. He has been detained for under six months and fined.

酒驾的危害，大家都知道，下面这名酒司机，真的是“作”得不轻，竟然凌晨醉酒开车上高速，而且还是逆行，之后他直接停在逆行车道上睡着了！让人真替他捏把汗！这惊险的一幕发生在青岛，9月27号凌晨3点半左右。监控画面显示，一辆黑色轿车在青银高速机场段的中间车道逆向行驶，两辆正常行驶的车辆不得不紧急避开它所在的行车道，看上去非常危险，路过车辆的驾驶员立即拨打电话报警。
路政养护人员在等待交警赶到的同时，站在车边挥舞衣服，提醒过往车辆注意避让。执勤民警赶到现场后，多次敲打车窗，才把驾驶员叫醒。
民警将警车停在高速来车方向，并打开警灯提醒其他车辆注意安全。驾车男子打开车门后，身上浓重的酒味扑面而来。随后，民警将男子驾驶的车辆移到应急车道上，并将男子带上警车，进行酒精测试。
随后，民警将男子带至附近医院抽取了血液样本，如果其血检结果依旧达到醉驾标准，他将面临驾驶证被吊销，5年内不得重考，并处6个月以下拘役和罚金的处罚；因为在高速公路上逆向行驶、停车，他还将被一次性记满12分、罚款200元。（视频由青岛台提供）
