WHEN an unlicensed driver pulled up at a petrol bowser next to a police car the officers took more than a glancing look.
A quick check while Thornton Watterson was pumping fuel revealed he was unlicensed due to unpaid traffic fines.
He was spoken to at the Caltex service station in Booval and charged.
Going before Ipswich Magistrates Court on Wednesday, Thornton Lance Watterson, 31, from Riverview, pleaded guilty to driving when unlicensed due to SPER suspension at Booval on March 18.
Prosecutor Sergeant Paul Caldwell said Watterson was driving a blue Holden Commodore when he parked at the bowser near the police car.
