Mum-Of-Eight Paid Woman £2000 To Pretend To Be Her And Pass Her Driving Test metro.co.uk

A mother-of-eight has been found guilty of paying another woman £2,000 to take her driving test for her.

Jihaan Ahmed, 36, pleaded guilty to committing fraud by asking someone else to impersonate her during a test at Cobridge in Stoke. Magistrates heard how a woman claiming to be Ahmed passed a driving test in November 2016, after showing the 36-year-old’s identification.

The same woman had previously turned up to take a test for someone else, with the same examiner, in April 2015. The examiner recognised her and the authorities were informed. Simon Dykes, mitigating, said Ahmed met the woman through Snapchat.

He told North Staffordshire Justice Centre: ‘She has been extremely foolish and naive. I don’t think she truly comprehended the enormity of what she was doing.’
