Taking to Twitter, the road police said: " #DalkeithRP were on patrol on the #A1 yesterday when this car caught their eye. Recorded travelling at 97mph, and if that wasn't bad enough, it was found to have no MOT, and the driver gave a positive @DrugWipeUK for cannabis."
As Gov.uk states, if a driver convicted of drug driving you may get a minimum one year driving ban, an unlimited fine, up to six months in prison and a criminal record.
Your driving licence will also show you’ve been convicted for drug driving. This will last for 11 years.
The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points will be added to the licence. Drivers could also be disqualified from driving if they build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of three years.
