Driving Schools Exposed

Driving schools are supposed to teach new motorists the rules of the road. But CBC Marketplace reveals many are willing to cheat the system by selling beginner driver education certificates to students who've had no actual training - putting public safety at risk, according to the Auditor General of Ontario. The certificates make drivers eligible for insurance discounts and a road test sooner. But for less than half the cost, some driving schools are offering to file fraudulent paperwork saying drivers have completed 40 hours of training, without taking a single lesson.
