Sarah Moss, aged 41, was caught behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta in Ellesmere Road, Shrewsbury, with benzoylecgonine in her system - a metabolite of cocaine.

She had 442 microgrammes of the substance in her system when she was tested by police - almost nine times the legal limit.

Moss, of Coldridge Drive, Shrewsbury, pleaded guilty at Kidderminster Magistrates Court to driving with a proportion of a controlled drug over the specified limit.

She was fined £120 and banned from driving for a year.
