84-year-old pensioner has been banned from driving for the next 1000 years

AN 84-year-old pensioner has been banned from driving for the next 1000 years.

Luba Relic, who in her early 80s clashed with her neighbours in court 78 times, has hit her mid 80s with an appearance for negligent driving, driving without a licence and failing to give particulars.

The Warriewood pensioner was already banned from driving until 2999 when she fronted Manly Court but a magistrate added a year for her latest misdemeanours.

Her licence had been suspended by the RTA for "medical reasons," the court heard. But she crashed into a Honda Civic outside a St Vincent De Paul shop in Oxford Rd, Brookvale in September.

"I saw the cars coming very close together and heard a crunching noise," witness James Pollet said.

Defending herself, she pleaded not guilty but a magistrate fined her $1000, ordered her to pay costs and added a year to her licence ban.
