A gas and plumbing engineer was caught drug driving on busy roads twice in a month.
Alex Luke was first pulled over on Newcastle's Central Motorway and was found to be over the limit for the breakdown products of both cannabis (THC) and cocaine (BZE).
The 23-year-old was arrested and released but, while under investigation, went on to get behind the wheel of his Ford Fiesta once more, again with drugs in his system.
