AN UNINSURED vehicle driven on the wrong licence landed its owner in court where the firm was fined £285 for the offences and the driver was fined £250 and disqualified for six months.
Walthamstow-based 999 Catering Supplies was found guilty of permitting a driver to drive without the appropriate licence and using the vehicle without insurance.
The company, of Hoe Street,Walthamstow, pleaded guilty to the offences before Barking Magistrates. It was fined £285 and ordered to pay £100 towards the costs of the prosecution.
Anthony Ostrin, prosecuting for Vehicle and Operators Services Agency (VOSA) told the court that a vehicle run by the company was stopped in a roadside check.The driver,Katimi Mos tafa, produced a driving licence without a category Cl entitlement to drive the vehicle, which had a gross plated weight of 7490kgs. "Because he did not have a correct licence," said Ostrin, he was uninsured to drive that vehicle." For the company, it was said that it was a long-established business operating a number of trucks and large vans which had not previously been before the courts. Mostafa had been employed as a driver for seven months and was very reliable and trustworthy.
Mostafa was fined £250, and ordered to pay £50 prosecution costs and received six penalty points.
