Useless conman, 23, sat other people's theory driving tests for them but failed 11 times
A USELESS conman sat people's theory driving test for them — but failed 11 times.
Qounain Khan, 23, was paid to impersonate learners whose English was not good enough to sit the written test — despite not having a licence himself.
He would change his hairstyle to turn up at test centres across the UK with the candidate's provisional driving licence and bank card as proof of ID.
But Khan clocked up the fails as his face did not match the mugshot on the driving licence.
He passed a 12th test in Cardiff in June 2023 but by then the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency had rumbled him.
It found he sat tests in Chesterfield, Surrey, Carlisle, Worcester, Redditch, Dudley, Swindon, Bradford and Wolverhampton over a 19-month period.
Prosecutor Justin Davies said: 'He was taking these tests while he was not the holder of a driving license himself.
'He operated across the country for 19 months playing the lead role as an impersonator.
'But he was able to be identified, despite wearing his hair in different styles.'
The university student, from Birmingham, who had debts from gambling, drinking and drug use, had claimed that he was given £300 to stand-in for a learner and only got paid if they passed.
He was jailed for eight months at Cardiff crown court after admitting charges including 12 of fraud by false representation.
None of the learner drivers were prosecuted, but were sent warning letters by the DVSA.

Dramatic moment disqualified driver leads cops on 80mph police chase before trying to flee on foot
THIS is the dramatic moment cops chased a disqualified driver who was racing at speeds of up to 80mph before he tried to flee on foot. Charley Lance, 24, led police on a dangerous high speed chase through the town of Harwich, Essex, before being pinned down by PC Johnny Lee. 5 5 Incredible footage shows police in hot pursuit of Lance as he races through the town at around 4.45pm on November 13, 2024. Sirens can be heard blaring as the cops continue chasing down Lance, with one officer saying: "It's gonna be a decamp." As Lance's motor comes to a screeching halt, PC Lee's colleague can be heard asking him to "get after" the dangerous driver. PC Lee can then be seen jumping out of the patrol car as it comes to a stop before he breaks into a sprint, chasing after Lance on foot. As he gains on the dangerous driver, PC Lee can be heard exclaiming: "Officer with a taser," warning Lance of his weapon. After a quick chase, Lance appears to stumble on the grass, falling to the floor and allowing PC Lee to reach him with ease. Shouting, the copper orders Lance to "stay where you are" as he lands the criminal in cuffs. Sirens of PC Lee's colleagues can then be heard getting closer in the background as the officer informs Lance of the nature of his arrest. Then, the policeman raises Lance off the floor and begins walking him back to his patrol car. For his shocking and dangerous behaviour, Lance was charged with, and later admitted to, dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance. He was sentenced to 13 months in prison. PC Lee said: "We knew we had to bring his dangerous driving to an end and when his vehicle came to stop, I knew the only thing to do was to catch him on foot. "Thankfully, he didn't get too far, and I was able to make the arrest. "We can't accept behaviour like this. He put himself and the public in harm's way by driving dangerously through Harwich. The officer added: "I'm just glad we were able to catch up with him. "As response officers, it's only through working together – often making very quick decisions – that we're able to keep Tendring safe and ultimately catch people who are causing harm in our neighbourhoods." 5 5

Police told bike-theft victim they would only help in ‘life-or-death situation'
Police told the victim of a bike theft that they would only respond if it was a 'life-or-death situation'. Marios Symeonides had his £5,000 bike stolen from outside his house in Camden, north London, on a Sunday afternoon despite it being secured with two £400 locks and a £120 GPS device. Police did attend after a neighbour called 999, but then called inquiries off after just 20 minutes. 'My wife rang the police, who initially said they would only come if it was a life-and-death situation,' Mr Symeonides told The Times. 'It was only after I cycled off in pursuit that they called back and came because some neighbours had seen the thief cutting the lock and rang 999.' A total of 33 bikes have been stolen in that part of Camden this year, according to police data analysed by The Telegraph. None of the thefts have been solved. Nationally, fewer than one in 50 of the 60,000-plus annual bike thefts are ever solved. Vast areas of England and Wales did not see a single individual punished for such a theft last year. Mr Symeonides followed the thief on a rented Lime e-bike while tracking the GPS on his phone. By the time police joined the pursuit, the thief was 20 minutes ahead and the chance to intercept was gone. 'Police were under time pressure, they had to go' The bike was stolen at 12.27pm, but by 1.47pm the thief was in Queen's Park, Kilburn, nearly four miles away, according to the GPS. When police and Mr Symeonides arrived in the 'nice neighbourhood' lined with terraced homes that sell for £900,000, the bike and the thief were nowhere to be seen. Despite carrying out door knocks and looking into gardens, the police called time on the investigation after 20 minutes and handed Mr Symeonides a report and a number to follow up. 'I was hoping that the police would be able to get more CCTV because they have it everywhere now,' Mr Symeonides said. 'But they were under time pressure. They had to go.' 'Police numbers are falling rapidly' On a Sunday afternoon in Camden, a popular tourist part of London, officers are restricted by the resources available and forced to prioritise which crimes to focus on, a spokesman told The Telegraph. He said: 'We recognise the impact of bike theft and understand the disruption it causes for victims. Officers carry out patrols and operations across London and will carry out enquiries when offences are reported. 'On the day of the incident, the Met received around 250 calls relating to incidents in Camden, and we have to balance the demand for our services with the resources available. Officers visited the victim and carried out inquiries to attempt to locate the bike, including reviewing doorbell footage and tracking data.' Last month, Sir Mark Rowley, the Met Police commissioner, said he did not have enough officers to meet rising demands. 'We're carrying the scar tissue of years of austerity cuts and the effects of that,' he said. 'Forces are much smaller when you compare the population they are policing than they were a decade or 15 years ago. 'Our numbers [of officers] are falling rapidly. London is over a million people bigger since then. Demand is going up 5 per cent a year, every year across the country. Five per cent more people are calling 999 looking for help from police. That's a massive number, and that compounds year on year.' Despite continued searches and offers of assistance from fellow London cyclists online, Mr Symeonides is still without his bike. He received a payout for from his insurance, but claimed he had lost about £900 from the theft.

One in seven people ‘have lost money to fraud in past year'
One in seven people say they have lost money to fraud in the past year, according to a survey. Some 14% of people surveyed in February said they had lost money to fraud in the past 12 months, financial insights company TransUnion found. Half (50%) said that a fraud attempt had been made against them in the past three months. The 'consumer pulse' survey also found that a significant proportion of people favour account security processes over ease of access, with over three-quarters (78%) saying they do not want access to their accounts without being explicitly authenticated first. Nearly half (49%) of people said they do not mind being authenticated again after an initial login, for example, when making a payment or changing a password. Chad Reimers, general manager of fraud and identity at TransUnion in the UK said: 'Quick and seamless journeys have become the norm. 'However, consumers are increasingly demanding trust as part of their interactions with digital channels. 'There are increasing demands from consumers to ensure security and authentication – and this spans across sectors, from financial services, to gaming, to online dating.' TransUnion commissioned Dynata to carry out the survey among 1,000 people aged 18 or over across the UK. As well as reporting incidents to the police, people who are concerned that they may have fallen victim to fraud should tell their bank or payments provider as soon as they can. 'This may help the provider to claw the money back and could also help to prevent further fraud attempts on the account. Many banks have signed up to the 159 service – a memorable number that people can call if they have received contact that they suspect to be fraudulent. People can also check their credit reports for any activity which may indicate fraud.
