interesting, but expected, result of tech gizmos.... more people are cheating on the drivers test. They are either getting impersonators take the test for them, or use blutooth earbuds to get the answers

Cheating cases during practical and theory driving tests rose by nearly 50 per cent last year in England, Scotland and Wales, new figures show.

There were 2,844 attempts to cheat in 2025, 47% higher than the previous year.

Of those, more than a third (1,113) involved the use of technology, such as an earpiece connected via Bluetooth to a concealed phone, to try to cheat at a theory test.

Meanwhile people attempted 1,084 times to try to take theory tests while impersonating the registered candidate.

And in 647 incidents, people pretended to be the registered candidate for a practical test.

Overall, nearly 100 offenders were prosecuted for trying to cheat themselves or for impersonating driving test candidates.

23-year-old Qounain Khan, who was handed an eight-month prison sentence in June 2025 after pleading guilty to impersonating learners at theory test centres 12 times.

Saudi Women's Driving School, a one hour documentary, is now streaming on HBO max

In June 2018, women in Saudi Arabia were finally allowed to drive legally and this documentary, centered around The Saudi Driving School – said to be the world's largest driving school, which caters exclusively to women, has 700 instructors and 250 cars – in the capital city of Riyadh, draws on unprecedented access to a number of Saudi women as they embrace a new way of life and the freedom that comes from being behind the wheel.
