Brum Driver Busted Over Double Cannabis Limit

Lewis Back, 27, from Brisbane Road, Dorset, was nailed for driving well over the legal drug limit in Dartford last October. Caught with 4.5 microgrammes of cannabis per litre of blood—more than double the legal limit of 2—he faced the music at West Kent Magistrates’ Court.

Three-Year Ban and Fine Slapdown

  • Offence date: 6 October 2021
  • Location: Dartford
  • Drug detected: Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (cannabis)
  • Reading: 4.5 microgrammes per litre of blood (legal limit is 2)

On 7 February 2022, Back pleaded guilty. He was handed a three-year driving disqualification, fined £120, and hit with an extra £34 surcharge plus £85 in court costs.

No mercy for drug-driving, the courts are cracking down hard to keep Britain’s roads safe.
