\"uk-driving-license-fraud\"<\/a>The Book Your Theory Test Online<\/b> blogger investigates the shocking extent of driving licence fraud.<\/i><\/p>\n

Thousands of unqualified drivers are being unleashed on Britain\u2019s roads, according to a new article published by the Daily Mirror.<\/p>\n

The Mirror states that these drivers have never passed a theory test<\/b> or practical driving exam and have absolutely no knowledge of the Highway Code or any driving experience.<\/p>\n

They are issued with false paperwork by unscrupulous gangs who charge thousands of pounds to provide fake documents. Worryingly, it\u2019s not just false car theory test<\/b> documents or driving licences they are obtaining, false paperwork allowing them to drive HGVs and buses is also being sold.<\/p>\n

In a statement from the DVSA, they said: \u201cGangs are issuing false documents to unqualified drivers, for all vehicle types. They are effectively handing them the keys to a weapon and giving them a licence to kill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unqualified drivers are paying for forged licences and are even paying people to sit the theory test <\/b>or practical driving exam on their behalf. One such impersonator put 84 unqualified drivers on Britain\u2019s roads alone.<\/p>\n

The scandal doesn\u2019t end there! One group bribed a number of corrupt theory test<\/b> and driving test examiners to give people a free pass to a theory test<\/b> certificate and then a practical driving exam.<\/p>\n

In one tragic case, following an unqualified driver being issued with a fake theory test<\/b> certificate and driving licence, the Daily Mirror alludes to the case of Josh Reed.<\/p>\n

Josh was just three days away from his 19th<\/sup> birthday. He was the passenger of a friend who was driving a Suzuki Swift. Josh\u2019s friend was driving because he\u2019d told people he had passed his test six weeks earlier. Unfortunately, his claim was false.<\/p>\n

Josh\u2019s friend was still a learner and that lack of experience resulted in tragedy as the car he was driving was crashed into by a van after he had pulled out in front of it. Josh died, whilst his friend fled the scene. The \u2018friend\u2019 was subsequently locked up in a young offender\u2019s institute for just over two years.<\/p>\n

In a statement from Josh\u2019s dad, he said: \u201cMy son would have been alive if that lad had proper training and experience. The accident would never have happened. When the police came round to tell me my son had died it ripped everybody apart. I was numb. I just ran upstairs and sat on Josh\u2019s bed and cried and cried.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s understood that the gangs responsible for putting people, like Josh\u2019s friend, on the road are charging up to \u00a33,000 for the privilege. One gang were convicted of \u2018fixing\u2019 382 tests, both theory tests <\/b>and practical driving exams.<\/p>\n

In a statement from DVSA inspector, Elaine Rabbitt, she said: \u201cThose who haven\u2019t taken a theory test<\/b> or undergone a proper practical driving exam are basically killers behind the wheel. Cheating on the theory test<\/b> is an offence in itself and those caught cheating will be severely dealt with.\u201d<\/p>\n
