Man pays impersonator £800 to take his driving theory test after failing 14 times

A man who paid two impersonators to take his driving theory test because he was “deeply embarrassed” after failing 14 times has been sentenced in court.

Mohammad Shoaib, 38, was nicknamed the “fifth failure” by colleagues and friends as he struggled to get a passing grade, before nine more time defeats.

Fed up, he paid two impersonators almost 35 times the cost of a test to take his theory for him between December 30, 2021 and January 5, 2022.
