Driving Instructor Pleads Guilty To Getting People Massachusetts Driver’s Licenses Without Passing Road Test

March 21, 2024

A driving instructor pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles by getting people driver’s licenses who never passed the road test.

Ngan Dinh, 48, of Boston, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit honest services mail fraud, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts. U.S. District Court Judge Patti B. Saris scheduled the sentencing hearing for June 5, 2024.

Dinh paid a road test examiner at the Brockton Registry of Motor Vehicles service center to lie and say that certain license applicants passed the road test when they had not.

Some of the people who got licenses never even took the test.

Yet, the Registry mailed licenses to these people despite their not being qualified to drive.

The charge of conspiracy to commit honest services mail fraud carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine, the press release said.
