This happened in Kristianstad in November 2020.
The earphone in the ear constituted an unauthorized aid during the Swedish Transport Administration’s driving license knowledge test.
According to a witness, the man conducted the test in a suspicious manner – and when the witness confronted him, the man tried to avoid removing the headphones and actively tried to hide the earpiece in his ear.
Sentenced to a fine
According to the Court of Appeal, the crime should be assessed as serious as an incorrect test result could affect road safety if the man was granted a driver’s license on incorrect grounds.
In the district court, the man was acquitted of false assurance, but the Court of Appeal changes that verdict. The man is sentenced to 50 daily fines of SEK 150.
The man himself denies any wrongdoing.
