'Operation Road Test': 5 takeaways on alleged Staten Island DMV license scheme with widespread implications
Briefly

A joint investigation revealed that a driving school targeted Chinese immigrants, charging significant fees for licenses without necessary testing. The T&E driving school in Queens leveraged social media to attract clients who could not pass exams. The indictment named eight individuals involved in the scheme, including DMV employees accused of accepting bribes to issue fake licenses. The operation spanned multiple Staten Island DMV sites and was described as a profound betrayal of public trust by authorities. The implicated individuals face serious felony charges.
The owner, secretary, and an employee of T&E driving school, along with several DMV workers, were indicted for issuing fraudulent licenses and permits without tests.
