    Groundbreaking stuff going on

    Steps taken to try and prevent fraud including matching a practical test candidate’s face with their photo ID

      They definitely already check this. When I took my theory driving test they practically made me take my shirt off to prove that I didn’t have any cheating items.

      I don’t know what the point is anyway since it’s super easy to pass.

      this sounds like the technique I used to purchase alcohol when I was 16, in the 90’s.

        When I was a kid back in the 80s the shop owner never even bothered to check. He just sold us the alcohol.

        It’s kind of bad really thinking about it, but no one used to check and no one used to care. I don’t even remember my parents being particularly bothered about it. I’m sure they would have been if we’d actually got in trouble for it but we used to just go home and drink quietly so no one official ever found out.

      Maybe I can get a £200 million contract witht the government to implement this technology.
