Mighty Moe surrenders his driver’s licence MIGHTY MOE is off the road at least until the new year. Moe, known for his blue pickup truck with a house- like structure on the back, says he gave up his li- cence to the motor vehicle insurance after receiving a letter telling him he had to go for a driver’s test or face further action. Instead of taking the test, Moe said he elected to give up his licence for at least six months the be- ginning of September after speaking to people at the motor vehicle branch. “I’ve parked the truck and I’m living in it. It’s nice and cozy,” said Moe, “You know, the Queen has to walk half a mile in the morning to put her .pants on. Me, I’ve just got to sit up.” Moe’s driving habits had become a concern to authorities and he faces traffic court appearances on a number of driving in- fractions. One of those appear- ances has already taken place this month and he’s due back for others in oc- tober. And he’s working at paying off fines amounting to hundreds of dollars. “[m paying them off $100 a month and I guess then ] can re-apply for my licence and take the test,” he said. It's been a challenging year for the former owner of a campground north on Hwy37. Since moving to Ter- race, Moe had adopted a highway rest stop just west of Terrace and camped "there regularly. He set up signs, inviting tourists to stop by for pic- tures and to talk. But highways officials blocked access with con- crete barriers earlier this year after receiving com- plaints about Moe’s activi- ties there.
