Mam was fined $850 and had his licence suspended for six months.

No conviction was recorded but the magistrate chastised Mam for his actions.

"Having made that stupid decision to get behind the wheel of the car, and using illicit substances as well … a cocktail of cocaine and other matters that were found in your blood on this particular occasion," the magistrate said.

"At so many levels you are fortunate to stand where you are today given you were involved in a two-vehicle motor accident.

"You could've been injured or killed or the other parties could've been injured or killed."
