Our thanks to Jeff for this. The start of the piece:

“A married mother-of-three who masqueraded as a qualified driving instructor has been convicted of fraud – despite helping almost 50 learners to pass their tests.

Joanne Sharples, 40, boasted of having a ‘passion for teaching’ and being ‘patient, calm and understanding’ with learners.

However she faced up to three years jail after being caught charging over £6,000 for driving lessons when she had not passed all the relevant tutoring exams herself.

But Sharples walked free with unpaid work after a court heard she was ‘frightened to leave the house’ after being exposed.” [J4MB emphasis]
