A Wigan motorist has been banned from the road for 40 months after he was caught drug-driving in Southport.

Andrew Hockey, 37, of Kimberley Place, Ashton, appeared before Wigan justices to plead guilty to driving a vehicle down Duke Street at the resort last June 30 while under the influence of cannabis and also while having no licence nor insurance.

He also pleaded guilty to cocaine possession on the same occasion.

As well as the disqualification from driving, Hockey must also pay £357 in fines, costs and a victim services surcharge.
