The offence occurred on 12 March 2021 in Harrietsham. Rakas appeared at Margate Magistrates’ Court on 4 February 2022 and admitted to being unfit to drive because of drugs.
Heavy Penalties Handed Down
- 24-month driving disqualification
- 150 hours of unpaid work to be completed within a year

The ruling sends a clear warning to those tempted to get behind the wheel while drugged. Rakas now faces a hefty punishment for risking lives on the road.
