A 25-YEAR-OLD lorry driver conr fcssed to the police that he had driven 156,000 miles without a driving licence. This was stated at Bury last week when Fred Street, of Church Street, Bury, pleaded guilty to driving without a licence and stealing 10 quarts of paint from his employers, Donald MacPherson and Co., Ltd., Warth, Bury.
He was fined £3 for the driving offence, £5 on each of two charges relating to the paint, and was ordered to pay £13 10s. restitution.
Explaining how he managed to be a lorry driver without a licence, Street said his employers had not asked to see his licence when he got the job 2+ years ago. Six months later, when the matter was raised, he showed them a licence belonging to his father. They assumed it was his.
Street said that he had driven 156,000 miles for the company and in his own car. The police said Street had helped in every way and he appeared to be genuinely repentent.
