Herefordshire BMW driver caught breaking the law on A49
Kate Harding entered a guilty plea to driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a controlled drug above the limit before Kidderminster magistrates earlier this month.
The court heard from the prosecuting solicitor that the 37-year-old had been caught out in Hereford’s A49 Ross Road while behind the wheel of a BMW on August 21.
She was found to be driving it while over the limit of benzoylecgonine, which is a metabolite of cocaine, Kidderminster magistrates were told.

She was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £85 and a £48 victim surcharge.
