Candidate Caught Using Earpiece, Camera to Cheat in Hanoi Driving Test

Hanoi police have apprehended a candidate for using sophisticated technology to cheat during a driving license examination. The incident occurred at the Duc Thinh Driving Test and License Issuance Center in Hanoi's Phuc Thinh commune.

The 28-year-old candidate, identified as L.S.V. from Cao Bang province, was found to be using a mobile phone connected to a tiny earpiece hidden in his ear and a disguised button camera. These devices were used to receive answers and assistance from an external party during the test.

Exam officials detected the cheating attempt through pre-exam checks and surveillance measures. They confiscated the mobile phone, micro-earpiece, and button camera. The candidate's test was stopped, and a report was filed before handing him and the evidence over to the Phuc Thinh commune police for legal action.

Hanoi's Traffic Police Department stated they would increase monitoring at future driving tests to prevent cheating and ensure fairness. They also cautioned that allowing unqualified individuals to obtain licenses through fraudulent means poses a significant risk to public road safety.
