Keyte's solicitor Mr Clive Hill told the court his client had "used" the morning of the incident and that he has been a daily cannabis user since the age of 16.
Keyte, 47, who carries a P1 provisional licence, was stopped at the low level bridge on August 13 last year.
He was subjected to a random breath and drug test and while the breath test returned a negative reading the oral fluid test detected a positive to methamphetamines.
He was convicted and disqualified from driving for three months as well as placed on a section 10 bond.
