A YORKSHIRE lorry driver who had been disqualified from driving for 12 months following a drink-driving offence was fined a total of £400 by Bradford magistrates for offences arising out of his attempt to impersonate his father.
Mr Albert Edward Kitchen, of Westcroft Road, Great Horton, Bradford, pleaded guilty to two charges of unauthorised use; seven charges of making false entries in a driver's record; one of using a driver's record book which had been issued in the name of Harry Kitchen, his father; to driving while dis qualified and to driving without insurance.
His father, Mr Harry Kitchen, of Scholemoor Lane, Bradford, was fined £50 after admitting aiding and abetting.
Prosecuting, Mr Michael Paterson said Albert Kitchen was not the holder of an operator's licence. In order to run a haulage business he had been using the licence granted in the name of his father.
When stopped by a police officer in Bradford while driving a lorry, Albert Kitchen had claimed that he was Harry Kitchen. However, the police officer recognised him as a disqualified driver.
In mitigation, Mr Jack Levi, defending, said that after his disqualification, Albert Kitchen had worked in demolition. When work became scarce he had returned to haulage rather than live off social security.
A confused situation had arisen between the two defendants over one of the lorries, following a change in registration. Application for an operator's licence had now been lodged by Albert Kitchen, so that in the future he could legitimately operate a haulage business.
