Donald, 115 Roystonhill, Glasgow, was caught on the M80 near Haggs on May 19 last year and gave a reading of 4.2 microgrammes of cannabis per litre of blood, when the legal limit is two microgrammes.
He asked to keep his driver’s licence because of “special circumstances” in his case.
Sheriff Derek Livingston deferred sentence until July 14 and made him subject to an interim driving ban.
