Best thing in that situation is to remain safe yourself.. If you can warn oncoming or surrounding traffic, then great. But I wouldn't add to any potential problem/s by getting "physically" involved.
We're probably all decent-enough drivers on here, but we need to remember that we share the road with some inexperienced, elderly, unaware etc. drivers all the time.. And we should, therefore, be considerate of them - all the time.
I wouldn't call 999 (ever) unless there was an obvious, present emergency (or without having a sound understanding of what's actually going on i.e. a clearly impending situation).
In my opinion, you did the right thing by calling 101
Cheers,

Karl,
if the driver was diabetic or had some other medical issue do you not think this is an emergency? The OP thinks the driver was under the influence.

At what point would you consider changing for a 101 call to a 999 call?
