Previously, the DVSA had to rely on independent investigators and the Crown Prosecution Service to bring cases to court, but now has the power to sanction those found cheating.Ĭurrently, driving theory tests consist of 50 multiple choice questions and a selection of hazard perception videos. With figures continuing to rise, estimates suggest that, at this rate, almost 2,500 people could be reprimanded for trying to cheat their way through the test by the end of the financial year! This sharp rise follows the DVSA’s decision to crack down on fraudsters and investigate prosecutions for theory test fraud internally. Shockingly, more than a 1,000 learner drivers were suspected of cheating between April-September of this year alone. Figures released from the DVSA's fraud department indicated that just 454 cases were logged between 2013-14, five years later and the figures reveal an entirely different story. New research from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency reveals that the number of young people caught cheating their way through their driving theory test has more than trebled in the last 5 years.
