A DRIVER who had taken a cocktail of drugs has been banned from the roads for four years.

Wigan magistrates heard how Carlos Deoliveira, aged Brightmeadow, Bolton, had no driving licence or insurance when he was caught driving a Hyundai i20 on Blackburn Road, Bolton, on May 10.

And he tested positive for having taken cocaine and cannabis.

Deoliveira pleaded guilty to committing the offences and, as well as the driving ban, was fined £360 and was ordered to pay £121in costs and charges.
