A DRIVER has been disqualified for 20 months after admitting drug driving.

He was found to have Benzoylecgonine in his system - the compound used to test for cocaine.
Ritson was banned from driving for 20 months, ordered to complete 100 hours' unpaid work, and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £95 and costs of £85.
