A woman is set to appear for a trial over allegedly drug driving and forcing other motorists to brake by undertaking and overtaking them.
Victoria Feeney, of Melbourne Road, Bushey, has denied driving without due care and attention and two other charges, of driving with benzoylecgonine and cocaine in her blood respectively.
After appearing in Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, October 3, the 48-year-old is next due in the same court on April 1, 2025, for a trial estimated to take five hours.

According to court documents, she had driven a Citroen without due care and attention “by undertaking other vehicles and overtaking, not leaving sufficient room causing other road users to brake and following them too closely” on the A23 in Crawley on April 4, 2022.
The drug charges were for driving with a proportion of a specified controlled drug over the specified limit, on the same road that day.
The government sets a limit where any claims of accidental exposure can be ruled out even for drugs where it takes a “zero tolerance” approach, including cocaine and benzoylecgonine.
