A Bonnybridge haulier, who showed sympathy to a patient of his doctor son, found himself, as a result, in Falkirk Sheriff Court recently. The accused was Mr. James Alexander, Main Street, Bonnybridge, and he was charged with failing to keep current records with respect to two drivers. In one case there were three contraventions and in the other 51.
On behalf of accused it was stated that the 51 offences were in respect of a man who had been a patient of the accused's son and to whom he had given work out of sympathy. The man had been taught to drive and was then employed as a casual driver. He was rather illiterate and had failed to fill in the log sheets supplied to him, producing a whole pocketful of them when questioned by the police. It had not been noticed that he had not returned them. A fine of £3 was imposed.
