Williams, of Lon Gwern, Newtown, admitted drug driving at this week’s hearing. “He told the officer he came round a corner, saw two vehicles stopped in the road and could not avoid a collision.” Mrs Tench said Williams had a previous drug driving incident on his record, from January 2024. A three-year ban is a significant punishment, particularly as there is no course he can attend to reduce the ban.” Magistrates handed Williams an obligatory three-year ban – due to the fact it was his second conviction for drug driving within 10 years.
