Driving test cheating surged by 47% across England, Scotland, and Wales in the 12 months to September 2025 according to new data from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) acquired by a Freedom of Information Request by the Press Association News Agency . DVSA figures show a wide range of tactics being used to cheat the test – and the results of it are impacting waiting times for real learners – who are already struggling to book a slot.
Technology played a major role, with 1,113 incidents involving Bluetooth devices hidden on candidates to feed them answers during theory exams. Impersonation also featured heavily, with 1,084 attempts to sit theory tests on behalf of someone else recorded, along with a further 647 cases where individuals tried to pose as another person for the practical test. Over the same 12 month period, 96 people were prosecuted for cheating or attempting to impersonate a genuine test candidate. With thanks to The Graham Feest Consultancy for this information.
