A mum who smoked cannabis before getting behind the wheel of her Audi, with two young children in the back, has been banned from driving.
Sadie Rudd, 31, was stopped by police on April 19, after they received a tip-off that she was a "regular" cannabis smoker. She admitted to having used the drug in the previous few days and a blood test revealed that she was more than three times the legal driving limit.
In a bid to try and avoid a driving disqualification, perfume business owner Rudd told magistrates that she needed the car to take her son and daughter to primary school. She also claimed that she has not smoked cannabis since the incident.
