Northallerton motorist banned for drug driving

York Magistrates' Court.

A Northallerton woman has been given a 12-month motoring ban for drug driving.

Simone Ward, 36, was stopped in the town’s Mount Road in August last year.

A drug-drive test revealed she was more than four times the specified limit for Benzoylecgonine, a cocaine derivative.

Ward, who was driving a BMW, admitted the offence and appeared for sentence at York Magistrates’ Court on Friday.

The prosecution withdrew a separate allegation of driving while over the specified limit for cocaine itself.

Ward, of Scholla View, was also fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 costs, as well as a £34 statutory surcharge.
