A WINCHESTER man has been banned from the road for three years after he was caught drug driving.

Charlie Keay, 20, of Erskine Road, West Hill, was in a 55-reg Ford Fiesta on April 4 this year on Stockbridge Road when stopped by officers, a court heard.

He was tested for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, and returned a reading of 384ug/l when the legal limit is 50.

Keay admitted the charge when he appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates Court.

He was disqualified from driving for 36 months ad fined £300 with £85 costs and a £34 victim surcharge.
