Owen Lear-Jones, aged 24, drove a black Ford Focus on Lowe Hill Road, Wem - the street where he lives - on January 18 this year.

A drug test found he had 8.9 micrograms of Delta 9 THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, per litre of blood. The legal limit, taking into account the possibility of accidental exposure, is 2mcg.
