Driving ban for sleepwalker
A doctor who got behind the wheel of his car while sleepwalking and almost four times over the alcohol limit was banned from driving for 12 months.
Donald Clegg, 59, from Prestwich, Bury, drove for a mile while still "asleep" before crashing into parked cars. The first thing he knew of the incident in December last year was when he woke up in a police cell, Bury magistrates heard.
He admitted driving with excess alcohol and without due care and attention but only because of his state of "parasomnia".
