A DRUG driver has been hit with a huge fine and a driving ban after he was caught behind the wheel having taken cocaine and cannabis.

Jude Daley, 20, was stopped by police in Egret Crescent, Colchester, in July while he was driving a Ford Fiesta.

Court papers show Daley co-operated with a drug swipe which came back positive for cannabis and cocaine.

He appeared before Colchester Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday to admit two counts of drug driving.

Daley, of George Avenue, Brightlingsea, was banned from driving for 17 months and ordered to pay a £833 fine, £85 in costs, and a £333 victim surcharge.
