Robbie McCabe (25) had just been playing football and was driving his car with drugs still in his system from when he took them some time earlier. He came to the attention of police because he entered a roundabout at excessive speed.
Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court on Thursday, McCabe admitted driving under the influence of drugs on Glasgow Road, Camelon on December 28 last year. He gave a reading of 200 microgrammes of Benzoylecgonine – the main metabolite of cocaine – per litre of blood when the legal limit is 50 microgrammes.
Sheriff Derek Hamilton banned McCabe, 54 Bellside Court, Linlithgow, from driving for 13 months and fined him £500 to be paid back at a rate £25 per week.
