A DRUG-driver has been banned from the roads after he was caught out on the A49 in Herefordshire.
David Cimpoeru entered a guilty plea to one count of driving a motor vehicle with the proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit when he appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster in January.
The court heard from prosecutor Eleanor Peart that the 33-year-old had been caught after getting behind the wheel of a Vauxhall Astra while over the drug-driving limit on the A49 in Moreton on Lugg, Herefordshire, on September 16.

An evidential blood test revealed that he had 4.2 microgrammes of controlled class B drug cannabis product delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per litre of blood, more than twice the limit of two microgrammes.
Cimpoeru, who is of Lion Court in Leominster, was disqualified from driving for 12 months and fined £360, with magistrates saying they had taken his guilty plea into account when imposing the penalty.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £135 and a £144 victim surcharge.
