Walter Cheshire, 20, of Saxon Road, Lowestoft, admitted drug driving on Apsley Road in Great Yarmouth on November 11 while over the legal limit for cannabis.

The 33-year-old was stopped by officers as part of a routine check on Acle New Road in Great Yarmouth while driving a Yamaha motorbike.

A roadside test found he was over the legal limit and had failed to display L plates as he only held a provisional licence.
