Telford cannabis brownie driver loses appeal against three-year driving ban
A "highly energetic" motorist who was banned from driving after he claimed he inadvertently ate a cannabis brownie has lost an appeal against his sentence.
Gurpreet Dhillon, of Dalby Close, Telford, lost his licence for three years after police stopped his BMW in July 2019 and he failed a roadside drugs test.
Arresting officers said they swabbed Mr Dhillon after the "highly energetic" driver was "bouncing around".
Dhillon, who pleaded guilty at Telford Magistrates Court, had argued he had no knowledge of being under the influence of cannabis as he had inadvertently eaten a "protein brownie" baked for him by a friend.
