Laurieston motorist, 61, loses licence for driving while high on cannabis

Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, Charles Gallacher had pleaded guilty to driving while unfit through drugs in Haugh Street, Bainsford, on August 24 last year. He gave a reading of 2.5 microgrammes of Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannibinol in his blood when the legal limit is 2.0 microgrammes.

The court heard Gallacher, 49 Zetland Drive, Laurieston, was classed as a “minimum risk” of re-offending.

Sheriff Maryam Labaki banned him from driving for 18 months.
