Paul Smith, of Crowmere Road, Shrewsbury, had already been handed six points and a fine for a driving offence earlier this year, magistrates heard.

But a blood test later revealed that the 37-year-old had a level of 278 micrograms of cocaine per litre of blood, which is 27 times the limit of 10mcg per litre.
