Judith Rose Powell, aged 61, of Tall Cottages, Alberbury, near Shrewsbury, was stopped by a routine police patrol at the Dobbies Roundabout on the A5 at 11.30am on April 5, 2024.
Powell pleaded guilty to driving a Kia Rio with a level of 371 of cocaine in her blood when the legal limit is 50.
Sara Beddow, prosecuting, told Telford Magistrates Court on Tuesday that Powell co-operated with police during her arrest and blood test. She has issues related to drugs on her record but nothing since 2018, she told the court.
