Man who posed as £300-a-time 'exam cheat for hire' to illegally sit driving theory tests JAILED

A struggling college student who set himself up as a £300-a-time 'exam cheat for hire' so he could illegally sit driving theory tests on behalf of learner drivers has been jailed.
Olivier Yolo, 27, agreed to fraudulently take theory tests for cash at a series of DVSA centres across the the north of England, including in Bolton and Stockport, for learners who were due to take them feared they would fail.
The engineering undergraduate masqueraded as provisionally licenced motorists in six separate theory tests after being put in touch with them through his local barber, but was arrested when staff became suspicious when he tried to take a seventh test at the Stockport centre in August 2022.

Yolo, who had passed his driving test just 12 months before the scam, had also tried to sit theory tests at Preston, Scarborough, Sheffield and Chester. A court heard the father-to-be had been struggling financially due to the cost of living crisis and the ruse seemed like 'easy money'.
It is thought he successfully passed three of the exams but was turned away at the others.
At Chester Crown Court, father-to-be Yolo, of Lathbury Road, Monsall, pleaded guilty to seven charges of fraud by false representation. He was jailed for 24 weeks on May 30.
Miss Zarreem Alan-Cheetham, prosecuting, said: “On the 18 September of last year information was received from the Reed Partnership Theory Test Centre in Stockport that an impersonation had taken place for a theory test in the name of Phillipe Kasende.
“The defendant was arrested by Greater Manchester Police at the test centre after completing the driving theory test and the matter was also reported to fraud
