"There can be no doubt about the seriousness of their actions, and all partners are pleased that this has been reflected in the sentences passed today.

"I would like to make it clear that the two examiners no longer work at the Nuneaton test centre, and the centre itself was not under investigation."

The DSA’s Head of Fraud and Integrity, Andy Rice, said:

“The driving test is there to ensure that all drivers have the skills and knowledge to use our roads safely and responsibly.

"Anyone who tries to cheat the driving test process is putting the lives of innocent road users at risk. This sentence sends a clear message that driving test fraud is a serious offence and will be dealt with accordingly.

“We have stringent measures in place to detect any fraudulent and activity and work with the police to bring all offenders to justice. Thankfully this type of crime is extremely rare.”
