A HEREFORD woman has been banned from the roads after she was caught drug-driving in a busy city street.
Claire Manuschka entered a guilty plea to one count of driving a motor vehicle while over the drug limit when she appeared before magistrates in Hereford in December.
The court heard from prosecutor Mark Hambling that the 39-year-old had been caught behind the wheel of a black Seat Leon while over the drug-driving limit in Hereford's Ledbury Road on November 15.

An evidential blood test revealed she had 2.8 microgrammes of controlled class B drug cannabis product delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per litre of blood. The legal limit is two microgrammes.
Manuschka, who is of Vernon Williams Close, Hereford, was fined £120 and disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for an obligatory 36 months for the offence, with magistrates saying they had taken her guilty plea into account when imposing the penalty.
She was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £135 and a £48 victim surcharge.
