A LONDON truck driver who forged a document purporting to show he had been out of the country when stopped for driving while disqualified has been jailed for four months.
James Gannon, of Fair Oak Drive, London SE9, pleaded guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court to perverting the course ofjustice.The court was told that in February 2006 Gannon had been prosecuted by Vosa for driving an LGV while disqualified after being stopped in a roadside check. The Harlow magistrates jailed him for two months and disqualified him from driving for a further 12 months.
During those proceedings he had produced a document purporting to be a letter from the Dartford branch of travel agents Thomas Cook & Sons and signed by sales manager Stephen Wilkins showing that he had been abroad on holiday at the time of the roadside check. However, enquiries by the prosecuting solicitor and a traffic examiner revealed that Wilkins did not exist,no man had been employed at the Dartford branch of Thomas Cook for 14 years and the document was a forgery.
