AN IPSWICH magistrate had to explain to a driver who tested positive to the drug ice that although she may not have been under the influence, it was still an offence in Queensland to test positive to having an illicit drug in your system when driving.
Kylie-May May Kitchener, a mum of six from North Ipswich, pleaded guilty in Ipswich Magistrates Court to drug driving (methylamphetamine) when travelling along King Edward Parade on November 23 last year.
The drug was detected in her saliva.
She also had three relevant convictions in the last five years.
“When I was picked up I wasn’t under the influence. I’ve got six kids,” Kitchener said.
