Ali Kani Mehmet, 31, was stopped by police after he was seen talking on his mobile phone, driving in Napier Street, White Hills about 9am on September 8 last year.
The Bendigo Magistrates' Court heard Mehmet was issued an oral fluid drug test. He told police at the time he had been using cannabis but results returned a positive result for ice.
Magistrate David Faram said "ice is the most dangerous drug going around".
He urged Mehmet - who has a young family - to think about his children's future and stop his drug habit.
"It's scary. It's a drug that goes one way - down a very black hole."
Mehmet was fined $860 and had his licence disqualified for six months.
