AWHOLESALE and retail greengrocer, Sidney Day, of River Place, Sleaford Street, Cambridge, was at Clerkenwell (London} magistrates court last week fined a total of £70 and ordered to pay 29 gn. costs, after pleading guilty to 13 summonses for failing to conform to the conditions of a carrier's licence, failing to produce a driver's record, and not displaying conspicuously a valid identity certificate on his vehicle.
Police alleged that Day for three months up to January 24 last, as the holder of a C licence, operated his lorry as if he held an A licence—doing general haulage work. During the period he had been paid some £540 in fees by the firm he worked for.
When he was approached by an officer of the Licensing Authority in January he produced his C licence. He could not produce a driver's record of trips he had done, nor did he have his name and address conspicuously displayed on the side of his vehicle.
At that stage he was warned he was doing wrong and told he would be reported, but he was again seen on January 24 hauling for the firm. •
