There are many techniques that now exist to be able to cheat on an exam. The classic cheat sheets that were hidden in the pencil case are a thing of the past, and now progress has been made to develop systems for copy using technologyIn high school, entrance exams or even at university, there are many reported cases of this type of infraction, but even when taking the theoretical exam to obtain a driving license, these cheating incidents are recorded.
The latest case detected by the Traffic Civil Guard itself has as its protagonist a 27-year-old young man who lives in the town of Torrelavega, in Cantabria. He was immersed in the process of obtaining a driving license, but it seems that he had little confidence in what he had studied (probably none). For this reason he chose to use technology to be able to copy, with an iPhone as the protagonist of the entire system that had been sold to him.
An upright posture made the Civil Guard suspicious of the person being examined
These events occurred last Friday at the Local Traffic Office in Gijón where the theoretical test was taking place. This young man, while taking his exam on the computers provided, showed a strange attitude that put the GIAT (Traffic Investigation and Analysis Group) officers on alert who were supervising the exam.
The surprise came when, at the end of the test, the agents began to frisk the young man superficially. And here the technological cheat sheet began to emerge. Specifically, he was carrying a mobile phone with an active SIM card, a wireless earpiece and a wired intercom. In addition, he had a state-of-the-art iPhone that provided internet to this entire complex system for cheating on the exam.
But this system, and having an interlocutor who could give him the answers, did not come cheap. 2,000 euros He was charged a fee by the system he had to use to pass his driving test. But in addition to paying the 2,000 euros, he also had to adapt his own clothes by making a hole in his shirt so that the camera could focus on the screen where the questions were displayed.
This was a problem, since the need for maintain a completely rigid posture and alerted the exam supervisors. On the other side of the camera was the accomplice who told her the answers through the earpiece. All this was connected to his own iPhone.
These types of systems are not entirely new. In the university environment it is something really common, as well as in competitive exams. This requires the use of signal inhibitors or to check the ears of those being examined. Because this is not something that comes for free, and this young man, for not having wanted to get his license by studying, will be fined an administrative fine.
