Driving test fraud trebles

Driving test fraud trebles

Thousands of unqualified drivers could be legally driving on UK roads with genuine driving licences.

Fraudsters pass themselves off as the learner and if they pass the test, the licence holder can legally drive without ever sitting the test themselves.

Figures from the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) show that last year 168 cases of impersonation were reported last year.

The data, revealed under the Freedom of Information Act, shows that in 2004 there were only 56 cases.

However the figures could be much higher as experts admit that nobody knows how many people are getting away with it.

It was reported that the scam costs up to £500 per test.

According to the AA, drivers who have not passed a test are up to nine times more likely to have an accident and it is more likely to be a serious one.

A spokesman from the RAC Foundation, said: “Some people see driving licence fraud as a kind of bureaucratic fraud rather than a road safety fraud.

“But it can be a matter of life or death. It really is that serious because technically someone has got a licence that appears to entitle them to drive on the road.

“But many of these people are totally incompetent as drivers, putting their own and other motorists’ lives at risk.

“It’s not a bureaucratic fraud that is a marginal issue but a major issue that needs to be cracked down on.”

A spokeswoman for the Driving Standards Agency said: “We take fraud extremely seriously and are constantly vigilant.”

The standard driving test costs £56.50 on April 1 and the theory test costing £30.

Driving tests ‘harder’ in north

Driving tests ‘harder’ in north

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is being asked by an AM why it appears “harder” to pass tests in north Wales than other parts of the country.

Chris Franks, who represents South Wales Central, said figures from the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) showed “significant” variations in pass rates.

The pass rate in Rhyl, Denbighshire, is 35%, compared to 63% in Lampeter, Ceredigion. Waiting times also vary.

The DSA said social and economic factors could influence pass rates.

According to DSA figures, the average pass rate for Wales is 49% - 5% more than in England.

In 2007-2008, the pass rate for Mold, Flintshire, was 38%, in Colwyn Bay, Conwy, it was 39% and in Rhyl as low as 35%. However, the pass rates in Holyhead and Pwllheli are above 50%.

DRIVING TEST PASS RATES
Location map
Aberystwyth 50%
6 Bala 37.9%
2 Bangor 45.87%
Barry 46.6%
Cardiff 53%
Cardigan 58%
3 Colwyn Bay 39%
1 Holyhead 50.75%
Llandrindod Wells 68.8%
Merthyr 53%
5 Mold 38.64%
Pontypridd 50.85%
7 Pwllheli 54.28%
4 Rhyl 35%
2007-2008 pass rates from selected driving test centres

Further south in Ceredigion, the figure was 63% in Lampeter and 54% in Aberystwyth, while Cardigan recorded a 58% pass rate.

In Cardiff, Newport and Swansea, the pass rates topped 50%.

Plaid Cymru AM Mr Franks said: “The figures from the DSA show a considerable discrepancy between the pass rates for drivers in parts of Wales.

“It does appear much harder to pass a driving test in north Wales than, for instance, in parts of west Wales.

“I will be writing to the DSA to find out if there are any local reasons for such a significant difference in pass rates across Wales.

“I’m sure learner drivers would expect to be treated the same wherever they take their test.”

He added: “Waiting times for driving tests also vary considerably which might suggest that there are not enough examiners in some areas.

“For instance, there is a wait of three months in Llanelli but half that time in Cardiff or Newport.”

A DSA spokeswoman said examiners were highly trained but said that socio-economic factors could influence pass rates.

She said: “The wealthier the town/area, the more likely people are able to invest more money on lessons and will have more opportunities for private practice and access to family vehicles etc.

“It would be highly improbable that every test centre would return the same pass rate country-wide.”

She said that all the centres in the areas highlighted by Mr Franks were within the DSA target of nine weeks for waiting times.

Don Bartley, who runs Acorn School of Motoring in Mold, said: “Every instructor around here will tell you that the pass rate is very low and we’re all worried about it.

“None of us know the reason why but for example this morning I took a girl for a test in Chester because she’d failed twice in Mold and she sailed through.”

Mr Bartley also said that the waiting list was higher in Mold, which he believed was due to a closure of a test centre in Wrexham last year.

Stella Carrington, of the Independent Driving Centre in Rhyl, said: “Rhyl’s also been classed a deprived area - I don’t know whether that might have something to do with it.”
