Motorist caught 100 times over drug drive limit

A driver stopped by police was found to be more than 120 times over the drug driving limit, with ectasy, cocaine and amphetamines in his system. Gintars Garkajs, 30, was stopped whilst driving his Audi A6 in Peterborough. After being arrested he underwent further tests which showed that he was more than 120 times over the legal limit for MDMA. He was also 10 times over the limit for cocaine and also had traces of the stimulant amphetamine in his system.

Garkajs pleaded guilty and was jailed for 18 weeks, and banned from driving for 5 years. Drug driving limits are set very low for illegal substances and roadside drug testing kits mean it is easy for police officers to detect the presence of drugs in a persons system.
