Cocaine-fuelled Scots driver caught 16 times over drug driving limit

A motorist who was pulled over by the police had so much cocaine in his system that he gave a reading 16 times over the drug driving limit.

Alexander Rice, 58, was banned from driving for 12 months and fined £350 when he admitted two charges at Dundee Sheriff Court. Rice, Eden Terrace, Dundee, was pulled over by officers after they were attracted by the manner of his driving in the city's Victoria Road on 23 April.

Fiscal depute Emma Farmer told the court : "It was 5.20 pm when police were drawn to his vehicle. They stopped it and spoke to the accused who appeared to be under the influence. He said he was tired. A drug test was positive for cocaine and a blood sample was taken."
