DUBAI: A Pakistani immigrant has landed in jail after attempted to take a driving test for his friend in Dubai. The Dubai court of first instance this week imposed a fine of Dh1, 000 (Rs38, 000), and ordered to deport the convicted after the completion of jail term. Prosecutors accused the convict of using a Roads and Transport Authority’s driving lesson form issued to his friend and the latter’s Emirates ID when he attempted a driving test in his place. A Sudanese supervisor at a driving institute had to inform his superior when he found the accused with documents bearing fake photos. When interrogated by the police and during public prosecution investigation, the accused admitted he tried to take the test, impersonating his friend and using his documents for Dh1,000, upon the latter’s request.
