A WOMAN has been banned from the roads after she was caught drug-driving on a busy main road in Herefordshire.

Amanda Louise Prior entered a guilty plea when she appeared before magistrates in Hereford.

The court heard the 36-year-old had been caught behind the wheel of a Ford Ecosport on the A49 at Leominster while over the drug limit on June 28.

An evidential test revealed she had 57 microgrammes of cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine per litre of blood. The legal limit is 50.

Prior, of the Commercial Hotel, Hereford, was fined £120 and disqualified from driving for 12 months. She must also pay costs of £135 and a £34 victim surcharge.
