Fraudster who charged learner drivers £1,500 a time to take DVSA driving theory tests

A fraudster has been found to have charged at least 36 learner drivers up to £1,500 a time to take their driving theory tests, a court heard.

Satwinder Singh, 34, took the £23 test for non-English speakers across a four-year period. The Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) issued pictures of Singh to different test centres as a warning.

On June 6, Singh was arrested after he was recognised while attempting to take an exam in Reading, Berks. He was found holding a driving licence under someone else's name. The man from Swansea admitted to the specific offences of impersonating genuine test candidates for payment at Person and Reed test centres.
