Man says he fell asleep at the wheel
he fell asleep at the wheel. Earl Waldron, 32, of School Lane, Sandys Parish, admitted in Plea Court this week he fell asleep when driving along North Shore Road during the afternoon in July last year. "I was driving and the next thing I knew I was upside down. I don't know whether I blacked out or not,'' he said. But Senior Magistrate the Wor. William Francis told him unless he provided a medical certificate to show why he blacked out, he was guilty of driving without due care. "If you fell asleep at the wheel you're guilty,'' Mr. Francis told him. Waldron, who suffered cuts to his face and hand in the accident was otherwise unharmed. No one else was injured, Police prosecutor Sgt. Donald Grant said. Waldron pleaded guilty to driving without due care and was fined $250. He was fined a further $1,350 on six charges of driving on different occasion without insurance, without a car licence or vehicle licence and for having no driver's licence.
