A WOMAN was caught drug driving a Ford Focus with three substances in her system - the most serious one being more than nine times the level of cocaine metabolite BZE.
Donna Ford, of Orchard Lane, Southampton, admitted possessing cocaine and three charges of drug driving, in East Cowes, on June 2.
She appeared at the Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court, on Friday, November 1.
Police pulled Ford over in Kent Avenue, at 8.10pm, and discovered she had three small bags of cocaine in her car.

They also drugs tested her at the roadside, which she failed for several substances, said Giles Fletcher, prosecuting.
Following her arrest, Ford provided a blood sample, which also tested positive for illegal substances.
Ford gave a reading of 474 ug/L for the cocaine metabolite BZE - more than nine times the legal limit.
