Uninsured drugs driver in Skegness is banned

An Audi A3 was spotted being driven at “excessive speed” in South Parade.

Jozsef Liskai, who had a passenger, was stopped in Grosvenor Road.

“He could not give an account of where they were going or why,” prosecutor Fiona McClelland told Boston Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

A blood test showed readings of 92 micrograms per litre of blood for a cocaine metabolite (legal limit 50) and 4.1 micrograms for a cannabis metabolite (limit two).

The defendant, of Lumley Avenue, pleaded guilty to two counts of drug-driving, and having no licence or insurance.

Roger Lowther, mitigating, said Liskai bought a car and “took a chance” when his work at an egg packing factory changed to night shifts.

Liskai was disqualified from driving for 18 months on each count, to run concurrently.

He was also fined £288 and ordered to pay £200 in costs and victim surcharge.
