Bearing in mind that the maximum sentence is five years for this offence, eight months seems lenient, even with the discount for a guilty plea. Five times the legal level of cocaine seems like strong aggravation to me. And the judge, apparently:-

“I cannot say what effect that quantity of drug had on your driving that day, but it is clearly a seriously aggravating feature of the offence.
