Between 1 April and 31 December 2010, DSA's Fraud and Integrity Team concluded 888 investigations into impersonation/ identity fraud surrounding the driving test.
Since 2004, the work of the Fraud and Integrity Team has led to over 1100 arrests, and over 1500 licence revocations. There are currently more than 900 ongoing investigations.
The DSA is committed to the prosecution of offenders in order to preserve public safety on the roads and the integrity of the driving test procedure.
"Around 1.5 million theory tests take place every year and thankfully such crime is extremely rare. We work closely with police and the Crown Prosecution Service to bring these fraudsters to justice."
