A woman caught drug-driving after a resident of Sandham House alerted Police that she was about to get behind the wheel has appeared before the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court.
24-year-old Kyanne Hill, of West Street in Ryde, pleaded guilty to 3 driving offences earlier this week (Tuesday).
On 20th December 2025, the defendant, who held only a provisional driving licence, had driven along Crescent Road in a black Hyundai whilst under the influence of cocaine and a high level of the by-product of cocaine, Benzoylecgonine.
The court heard from Crown Prosecutor Rhys Evans, who said that police were called by a resident of Sandham House who informed them that Hill was about to drive under the influence.
Police soon stopped the vehicle, with the National Database showing the defendant did not hold a full UK driving licence.
After this, Hill was required to participate in a preliminary roadside drug test, which she failed, leading to a further test when in custody.
Ultimately, the 24-year-old failed both of the tests with a reading of 14 micrograms of cocaine per litre of blood and 800 micrograms of Benzoylecgonine – the byproduct of the drug.
Hill told the police she had smoked weed before driving; however, results of the drug test found very small levels of THC in her system.
Jim Osbourne, defending, informed the magistrates that his client, who appeared in court with her father, has suffered considerably from mental health issues and is working to get herself clean and has plans to attend a rehabilitation centre on the mainland.
As a result of this, Magistrates decided a Pre-Sentence Report needed to be completed before sentencing.
Kyanne Hills was handed an interim driving ban of 6 months whilst she awaits her sentencing on 23rd October.
Should be BANNED for life
The MH card played again…. At least the newspaper didn’t publish the name of the informant
Should have her car crushed, on the subject of illegal driving HW56 FFG Black Nissan Micra owner get some bloody tax, your car is SORN so why are you driving it about every day, it has been reported as has your other car the Blue Mazda, HW60 KCE, no tax or mot on that one, driving around and parked up at the back of the now dead Smokin Jacks in Wroxall.
Lack of law and order is the problem
ALSO THE DVLA SYSTEM IS CRAP, hence people
driving around for months with no MOT.
Isle of Wight Police are partnered with the DVLA under the DPP (DVLA Devolved Power Partner) scheme. This means that the Police on the Island have the power to clamp and remove untaxed vehicles. They just choose not too because of the cost. They will direct you to Island Roads or the Isle of Wight Council whom do not have any powers regarding untaxed vehicles.
I agree. If people can afford a car and afford cocaine and cannabis, perhaps seeing their car dropped into a crusher will bring a bit of reality to the situation.
One of life’s no good takers, she won’t change they never do, mental health ooh we’ve never heard that one before have we ? Always excuse, ‘ my one eyed donkey called Mabel was having a bad day !
Bang them up, only thing morons understand.
I saw a couple of pissed / drugged up guys
this evening coming from the Travel lodge direction in
Ryde
They were messing around in the Street,
they could have easily got run over.
I have no idea why the country tolerates druggies,
they are a menace in society and put normal people
at risk.
They need banging up, their benefit money is
being squandered on bad habits.
Where’s the law on the island for such matters.
Too busy reading “nasty hurty” words on Facebook and investigating anyone that has an opinion.
