  • Barrow motorist with cocaine in system banned from driving and fined

    From Simon Mason@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 12 03:44:51 2023
    George Bates, of Rawlinson Street, was driving a Volkswagen Golf on Main Street in Haverigg when he was pulled over by police on May 13 this year, South Cumbria Magistrates Court heard.

    Cumbria Police conducted a roadside drug test and found the 29-year-old had cocaine in his system having recorded a reading of 29 micrograms.

    Magistrates at South Cumbria Magistrates Court ordered a mandatory 12-month driving disqualification and further penalised him with a £80 fine.

    He was also required to pay £85 in court costs and a £32 surcharge in full within 28 days.

    The constabulary are brave up in Cumbria, eh?

    Doing that in South London can get officers sacked.

    A year long ban for snorting a line of Coke?
    Dreadful.

    "Mandatory" 12 months ban?
    Must be in the same class as drink driving now -- good to see.
