Two Wisbech (Cambs) men pleaded not uilty to making a false statement in conection with an application for an hgv cence when they appeared before Norfolk lagistrates last week.
Derek Moyses said that he had been inployed as a driver of heavy vehicles tiring the qualifying dates leading up to is application for a licence. For part of us time, he said, he had worked for a Visbech haulage contractor, R. S. Ward rid Co and had also worked as a driver )r John Laing but could produce no vidence of this. Replying to questions put to her by the prosecuting solicitor for the Eastern LA, Mrs Betty Ward said that she had taken over management of the business on the death of her husband last year. Moyses had been employed by her husband as transport manager and had left at about the time of her husband's death in February 1971. She was certain he had not worked for her since that date.
Jointly charged with Moyses was Gerald Rumsey, Ward's present transport manager. Mr Rumsey said that he had agreed to take over as transport manager at the invitation of Mrs Ward after her husband's death. He had no administrative experience but took on the job to help her. In June last year he was approached by Moyses and asked to endorse an application for an hgv licence. He was unable to confirm the dates Moyses had worked as Mrs Ward was away on holiday and the office records were kept at her address. He signed the application, he said, but was now unable to remember from where he had got the dates he entered on the form. He agreed that he had been negligent but said he had no intention to make a false statement.
Both men were found guilty and fined £10. Moyses also pleaded guilty to four charges of driving a hgv vehicle without a driving licence and four charges of failing to have a plating and testing certificate. He asked for a number of other offences to be taken into consideration. He was fined £5 on each of the four driving licence offences and £10 on each of the plating offences.
