A bus driver surnamed Yuan was forced by traffic police to sleep for two hours after he was found to have been driving for more than 12 hours in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, early Wednesday morning.

Yuan, who was driving a coach from Shanghai to Wuhan, had been playing horror films to keep himself awake, but traffic police stopped him at about 3 am after a passenger who was worried about his safety, called them for help.

Yuan was immediately forced to stop his coach at the roadside and take a nap.
