The Spanish-born student of French nationality was found guilty of reckless driving and handed a six-month suspended sentence.
That sentence will be dismissed if the young man does not break the law in the next two years.
He also saw his driver's licence suspended for a year.
The man was arrested after posting a video of himself, yawning as he drove his vehicle from the passenger seat. He even overtook a truck.
