Surprisingly, a commonly visited article on the blog is the one entitled How to Bribe Driving Examiners. It shows that there is obviously a market for liars and cheats.
It is therefore gratifying to see that one such liar and cheat, who goes by the name of Ali Ahmad, has been jailed for pandering to other liars and cheats. The 46-year-old of Ipswich was found guilty of sitting both theory and practical tests for two men at venues in Ipswich, Leicester, and Watnall.
Ahmad charged between £700 and £1,000 a time, and although he was prosecuted for two such offences, there is the suggestion he was ‘running a business’ and there may have been more.
There is every indication that the tests Ahmad passed – the two people in question gained full licences as a result – have been rescinded.
As I have said elsewhere, the idiots who pay people like Ahmad could probably pass by themselves for the same amount of money or less – and they’d be doing it honestly as well as actually learning to drive. The likes of Ahmad inevitably get caught sooner or later, so it is money down the drain.
