John-Daniel Beckett, aged 34, was caught behind the wheel of a Vauxhall Vectra on the A53 at Shawbury on Christmas Eve last year.
A test found he had 635 microgrammes of benzoylecgonine - a by-product of cocaine - per litre of blood in his system. The legal limit, allowing for the possibility of accidental exposure to the illegal drug, is 50mcg.
