A "motivated and driven" father ignored his driving ban on a family journey back from the National Museum Cardiff. Police caught Daniel Harris with cannabis behind the wheel of a Ford C-Max while his partner and her children were in the car.
Harris was disqualified from driving in 2016 over dangerous driving while drunk - and he has not taken the extended test to get his licence back because it is "hugely expensive", Cardiff Magistrates' Court heard. He was spotted flouting his ban on the afternoon of May 7 at Gorse Place in Fairwater.
Prosecutor Jack Stanley told the court last Thursday: "Police observed that he seemed to come round a corner rather quickly. He was pulled over and once he had spoken to the officers, he grasped the severity of the situation. Mr Harris offered up that he had cannabis on his person and passed a roadside drug swab."
