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.
