A court heard how a Worksop man who had ‘never had a driving lesson in his life’ drove his Mum’s car to the next town in the dead of night- because he wanted a can of pop.
Samuel Burton, 25, of Kent Close, Worksop, appeared at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on Friday September 4.
He pleaded guilty to charges of taking a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent and driving it without a licence or insurance.
In mitigation, the court heard how Burton had seized the opportunity to go for a drive in his Mum’s Nissan at 3:50am while she was asleep on Sunday, August 16.
Burton picked a friend up from the town centre before driving to a petrol station in Retford where he picked up a can of pop.
Police officers spotted the vehicle and pulled Burton over after they checked the registration and discovered that the vehicle was insured to a female.
Representing himself, Burton told magistrates: “I picked my friend up from the town centre and then we drove to the petrol station because I wanted a drink.
