A woman who was found at more than twice the legal drug-drive limit for cocaine has been banned from the roads.
Kelly Gray, 45, of Mornington Road, Canvey, was driving an Audi in Benderloch on February 7 when she was found to have 216 micrograms per litre of benzoylecgonine and 35 micrograms per litre of cocaine in her blood, Chelmsford Magistrates' Court heard.
The legal limit for cocaine is 10 micrograms per litre, while the limit for benzoylecgonine is 50 micrograms per litre.
Gray admitted driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit at the same court on July 11 and has been banned from driving for a year and two months.
She must also pay a fine of £320, prosecution costs of £105 and a £128 surcharge.
