Motorist Fined and Banned for Driving Under Influence of Cannabis
A 38-year-old man, Dean Herbertson, has been fined £1,000 and banned from driving for two years after driving off a ferry while under the influence of cannabis.

- Herbertson was stopped by authorities on June 5 at 7:30am while driving a Volkswagen Transporter off the ferry.
- A drug wipe test proved positive for cannabis, leading to his arrest.
