A pensioner who was banned from the road was caught driving a Range Rover half a mile to his local supermarket for milk and sugar.
John Timmis, aged 85, drove to Morrisons in Market Drayton, around half a mile from his home in Manor Gardens, despite being banned from the road for previous offences of drink driving and failing to provide a specimen for analysis.
"You could have got a taxi," suggested head magistrate Sarah Richards."Have you seen the price of taxis?" bemoaned Timmis."It costs £10 one way and £10 back. I'm a pensioner. That's a lot of money to me." They waited in the car park and watched Timmis leave the shop, get in his car and drive off. He was followed down Maer Lane and then into Prospect Road. Officers put on their lights and pulled Timmis over.
