BBC confronts man bulk-buying and reselling UK driving tests | BBC News
Driving instructors are being offered kickbacks of up to £250 a month to sell their official test-booking login details to touts, a BBC investigation has found.
Touts use these login details to book driving tests in bulk and sell them to learners on WhatsApp and Facebook, charging as much as £500 for tests that should cost no more than £75.
This makes it harder for learners to book through legitimate routes and adds to already lengthy waiting times.
The BBC confronted Anil Ahmed, who buys driving instructors’ login details and then sells tests online at a mark-up. He says the claims we put to him are a “complete fabrication”.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander recently announced plans to change driving test rules, which it is hoped will stop touts and reduce the backlog. Only learners – not instructors – will be able to book test slots from spring 2026.

Negotiators for the US and Iran have agreed a framework of a deal that would extend their ceasefire for 60 days and launch negotiations on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme, US sources say.
The agreement comes amid continued strikes and accusations of ceasefire violations, with tensions still high across the region.
Talks are also said to include potential changes to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy route.

More than three months after the US and Israel first began their war with Iran, Washington and Tehran have reached an initial agreement to bring about a more long-term end to hostilities.
US President Donald Trump has said it paves the way for what he called the “toll-free” opening of the Strait of Hormuz. He called on ships to start their engines and “let the oil flow”.
The full text of the deal has not yet been released. Pakistani mediators say the agreement will be officially signed in Switzerland on Friday 19 June.
Our US State Department correspondent Tom Bateman tells us that President Trump and Iranian officials are already giving different accounts of what’s been agreed.
