duckerDavies 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Tens of thousands of people are paying fraudsters to sit their driving test for them, the BBC has learned. The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) says impostors charge up to £500 and can have taken more than 200 tests each. The scam works when the fraudsters pass themselves off as the person in the photo on the provisional licence that candidates must bring to their test. The DSA described the problem, the scale of which has only recently become clear, as serious. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6231892.stm I don't understand how this could happen? When i passed my test in January 2007 (1st time mustn't gloat).I had my instructor in the waiting room with me while i waited for the examiner, And then even when i came back from my test the examiner had to explain to my instructor how i did. So Surely the instructor would notice a superman change over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6307 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Ever considered that some instructors may be in on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sicklee Sausage Roll 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Why pay £500 to pass a test? Wouldn't it be cheaper to spend money on more lessons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikko 20 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Why pay £500 to pass a test? Wouldn't it be cheaper to spend money on more lessons? £500 is about 20-25 lessons at current prices, but its a guaranteed pass and its straight away no waiting...
