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. 'I'm a driving instructor and here are the 5 most common questions asked on the theory test'- 1

Married ex-prison officer jailed for filming sex with lag in cell shows off cryptic new tattoo as she enjoys freedom
AN ex-prison officer who had sex with a lag in a cell smiles after being freed from jail — sporting a new 'love' tattoo. Linda de Sousa Abreu, 31, lapped up the sun in shorts, sports bra and polka-dot bandana. 10 The married former guard — released after serving five months of a 15-month sentence — had a new neck inking saying 'Amor', which is Spanish for 'love'. We revealed last year that she was filmed romping with lag Linton Weirich, while ignoring messages on her radio, at Wandsworth jail, South West London. She was spotted on Saturday near her home in Fulham, West London. A neighbour said: 'It doesn't look like what has happened has impacted her at all. 'She looks like she is loving life. 'She's smiling, enjoying the sun and got a new tattoo. 'I think she will try and launch a new career making the most of the fame she got.' 10 10 In the shocking sex clip, which went viral, a lag is heard saying: 'This is how we live at Wandsworth.' A month earlier, the jail was slammed for 'systemic and cultural failures that stemmed from poor leadership'. De Sousa Abreu was arrested at Heathrow as she tried to board a flight to Madrid. She was jailed in January after admitting misconduct in public office. 10 10 10
