A DRIVER has been banned from the roads after he was caught while over the drug limit on a main road in Herefordshire.

Thomas Norman George admitted drug-driving when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford on November 12.

Magistrates heard the 33-year-old had been driving a Volkswagen Golf on the A417 at Dinmore when he was stopped on April 4.

More from the courts:

An evidential blood test revealed he had 4.6 microgrammes of cannabis metabolite delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is two.

George, of Green Lane, Yarpole, was fined £300 and disqualified from driving for 12 months. He must pay costs of £135 and a £34 victim surcharge.
