The UK driving test has seen rampant cheating due to its low pass rate and long waiting times—averaging 22 weeks. Over the past year, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) recorded 2,900 cheating cases across the British Isles, a 47% year-on-year surge. Common tactics include using concealed Bluetooth earpieces to receive answers from outside the exam room or hiring impersonators to take tests on their behalf—over 1,000 cases of identity fraud occurred in theory tests, and nearly 650 in practical driving tests. Impersonators can earn up to £2,000 (approximately RMB 18,900) per test. Experts warn that allowing unqualified drivers onto the roads poses a serious threat to public safety. The root cause lies in a severe shortage of available test slots; third-party websites use bots to snatch appointments, overwhelming the booking system. The government estimates this backlog could persist until 2027.
