A DRUG-DRIVER has been banned from the roads after he was caught in a busy Hereford main road.

Jack Flavell entered a guilty plea to magistrates in Hereford.

The court heard the 29-year-old had been caught driving a Vauxhall Vectra in Hereford's Holmer Road while over the drug-drive limit on December 10.

An evidential blood test revealed he had 121 microgrammes of cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine per litre of blood. The legal limit is 50.

Flavell, of Hallam Drive, Shrewsbury, was disqualified from driving for three years and fined £415. He must also pay costs of £135 and a £45 victim surcharge.
