The Thurrock Gazette reports that a driving examiner and an instructor have been jailed for a bribes scam they were involved in.
Salima Rashid (instructor) took money off pupils she’d taught, and split the money between two examiners (Nick Madigan is named as one). Rashid tried to lie her way out of it, but was found guilty and jailed for two years. Madigan pleaded guilty and is due to be sentenced next month.
A second examiner, Kulwinder Mann, has also been found guilty but will be sentenced later as he is apparently “unwell”.
Rashid’s pupils – all of them appear to be non-UK nationals – paid up to £1,000 a time. One of them passed, in spite of a near miss with a car during her test. Another pupil was failed by Madigan, then offered a pass in return for a sum of cash! This occurred at the Barking test centre.
I wonder if any licences have been revoked?
