A Woking man has been disqualified from driving for a year after failing a drug test in Hook Heath.

Gary Mathews was handed the mandatory ban on Monday (November 3) by Staines Magistrates Court after admitting to being over the legal drug-drive limit on May 25.

The 40-year-old of Fairview Avenue tested positive for Delta-9 THC (Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol) after police pulled over his Chrysler Crossfire on Hook Heath Road.

He was more than four times over as he gave a reading of 9 microgrammes of analyte per litre of blood, with the legal limit being 2mgs per litre.

Mathews was fined £120, ordered to pay £85 costs and an £48 surcharge by magistrates who took his guilty plea into account.
