A fraudster has kept his licence even though he sat theory and practical driving tests for others in a cash-to-pass scam. Car wash worker Ali Ahmad was jailed before Nottingham Crown Court after he pleaded guilty to multiple offences of fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud.
He was prosecuted by the DVSA. Ahmad, 46, of Griffiths Close, Ipswich, sat both the theory and practical driving tests in place of two men. His crimes were in Ipswich, Leicester and Watnall, Nottinghamshire.
The court was told there was "sophistication" to this offence, and an indication he was running "effectively a business". Generally candidates would pay £700 to £1,000 for this service to obtain a licence.
