Driving instructor agrees to plead guilty in conspiracy to give driver’s licenses to unqualified applicants

A driving instructor who was charged with conspiracy to defraud the Registry of Motor Vehicles into issuing driver’s licenses to applicants who did not pass the road test has agreed to plead guilty, according to officials. 

Ngan Dinh, 48, of Boston, was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit honest services mail fraud, the  U.S. District Attorney said in a statement Wednesday. 

Dihn allegedly paid a road test examiner at the Brockton RMV service center to misrepresent to the RMV that certain driver’s license applicants had passed their road test when they hadn’t. Some applicants, according to the statement, did not show up for the test. 

“As a result of the fraud, the RMV mailed driver’s licenses to unqualified applicants,” the statement read. 

Dihn could face up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine for the charges. A plea hearing has not yet been scheduled by the court.
