8 Members Arrested Over Arranging Driving Licences For People Without Lessons Or Tests

Dubai authorities have recently cracked down on a rather risky scheme, arresting eight members of a gang involved in a driving license scam. This group was allegedly helping individuals bypass the proper procedures, offering driving licenses without the need for lessons or tests, all for a hefty fee.
