A 35-year-old man sat the driving test theory in Galashiels pretending to be someone else, Selkirk Sheriff Court has been told.

Chung Fung Chung conned two staff members at the Driving Standards Agency office to allow him to take the exam under the name of Qiao Hua Jiang.

Chung of Colintraive Crescent, Glasgow, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempting to obtain a pass in a car theory test by fraud on January 28.

Sheriff Peter Paterson told him: "This is a serious matter."

Sentence was deferred until August 15 for background reports to be prepared.
