An evidential blood test revealed that he had 32 microgrammes of controlled class A drug cocaine and 800 microgrammes of the drug's metabolite benzoylecgonine per litre of blood. The respective legal limits are 10 and 50 microgrammes.
Cridge, of Ludlow Avenue, Taunton, was disqualified from driving for 12 months and fined £215 for the offence, with magistrates saying that they had taken his guilty plea into account.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £135 and an £86 victim surcharge.
