A meth-taking interstate truck driver who blocked a major road when he stopped for a nap has lost his licence for two months.
Mount Julian’s Jason Dean Taylor, 42, handed his licence, and in effect his livelihood, over at Proserpine Magistrates Court on Monday after he endangered other road users in a bizarre incident at Wacol in the early hours of the morning on January 24.
Responding to a call-out to the Ipswich Motorway at 6.35am, police found the self-employed truckie asleep behind the driver’s seat of his heavy combination vehicle, which was blocking the left turn lane to Centenary Highway.
