A DRINK driver with three previous convictions for driving while disqualified, is awaiting sentence.

Burnley magistrates court heard how Anthony Uttley, 39, gave a false name to police.

Uttley, of Parkinson Street, Burnley, admitted driving while disqualified, without insurance and a test certificate and wilfully obstructing a police officer.

The court heard he was banned from driving for three years, in May 1997 for drink driving. He was seen driving in Clough Street, Burnley.

Rachel Hodgson, defending, said Uttley had been foolish. He panicked and gave a false name because he knew he was disqualified.
