To guarantee road safety, the CBR has a zero tolerance policy in the field of fraud.

Prediction fraud, it is becoming more and more common and the Central Bureau for the Issuance of Driving Skills Certificates (CBR) wants this specific fraud to become punishable. The approach to exam fraud is currently not properly regulated in the Penal Code. Director Alexander Pechtold of the CBR calls it an organized crime and sees an increase. We all had to do it for our driver's license, the theory exam. Blood, sweat and tears for some and a piece of cake for others. The hazard perception part consists of 25 questions, of which you must answer 13 or more questions correctly. The knowledge part consists of 12 questions, of which you must answer 10 or more questions correctly. The insight part consists of 28 questions, of which you must answer 25 or more questions correctly.

Every year hundreds of new exam questions are developed that meet strict requirements and these questions are changed frequently to avoid predictability. To guarantee road safety, the CBR has a zero tolerance policy in the field of fraud. In the event of suspected fraud, a report is always made to the police and we actively cooperate in ongoing investigations. The CBR is sounding the alarm and wants exam fraud to be specifically punishable. CBR employees are trained in document recognition, look-a-likes and camera surveillance and other equipment are also present to prevent fraud. Candidates must store electronic equipment such as telephones, coats and bags in lockers before commencing their theory test.

Candidates who commit fraud carry advanced equipment such as a hidden camera and a tiny earpiece. The questions are read by the camera and the correct answers are whispered into the earpiece. Candidates pay according to it CBR big money for this way of doing the exam. Amounts of 2000 to 2500 euros are quite normal. Candidates caught for fraud usually get off with a fine or community service. The organizers behind the fraud who arrange the equipment and predict the answers are almost never caught. According to Alexander Pechtold, this must change quickly. According to the NOS, he is calling on politicians to make exam fraud specifically punishable. According to him, perpetrators are still getting away with it too easily.
