Inderjeet Kaur, from Llanelli, admitted taking around 150 theoretical and practical driving tests on behalf of applicants between 2018 and 2020. Swansea Crown Court heard the 29-year-old committed the offenses across England and Wales, including Swansea, Carmarthen, Birmingham and around London. Suspicion was raised by the test center staff that Kaur was impersonating the genuine candidates while giving the test. Following a referral by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, an investigation by South Wales Police found it was offering services to applicants who had difficulties with the English language. Chief Inspector Steven Maloney, who led the investigation, said: “The crimes committed by Kaur circumvent the driving test process and, in turn, put innocent road users at risk by allowing unskilled and dangerous motorists to have ostensibly legitimate licenses’. Caroline Hicks, from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, added: “Dodging tests puts lives at risk, we have methods to detect test fraud and we will hit those involved hard. “This includes invalidating test successes that have been obtained fraudulently.”
