DSA To Revoke Fraudulent Drivers' Licences
Almost one hundred people are to lose their driving licence after it was discovered a Chinese interpreter was supplying people with the answers to the theory test.
The news that the Driving Standards Agency is to revoke 94 fraudulently obtained licences comes as the government begins a consultation on scrapping the rules that allow non-English or Welsh speaking to take the driving theory test in another language.
The interpreter, Allyson Ng, from Bristol, had interpreted 123 theory tests since 2009. She has been jailed for a year after admitting conspiring to defraud the DSA.
