Learner driver fails to bribe examiner
A learner driver tried to bribe her examiner in a desperate attempt to pass her test – then attacked him when he refused.
8:00AM GMT 25 Mar 2011
Jin Su handed the official a red envelope stuffed with cash during her fifth test and told him: "This will be good for you – and for me."
The packet contained between £400 and £500, Manchester Crown Court heard. Su, 35, a former teacher who has a young son, handed over the money just before she tried a road manoeuvre in Cheetham Hill, Manchester.
When Driving Standards Agency examiner Keith Ashcroft refused the cash and terminated the driving test, Su got angry and attacked him in the street.
She grabbed his wrists and tried to push him back into the car, shouting: "I want the test to continue!" When quizzed after her arrest she said the money was to bring good luck, but later admitted it was a bribe.
Su, of Grasmere Road, Swinton, Greater Manchester, pleaded guilty to offering a bribe and common assault. She was ordered to carry out 50 hours of unpaid work and pay Mr Ashcroft £100 compensation.

The defendant attempted the bribe during a test on May 19.
She pulled out of the Cheetham Hill Test Centre and told Mr Ashcroft: "I feel confident I will pass my test today." He asked Su to pull over to test her starting and stopping skills.
Michael Morley, prosecuting, told the court: "She reached into her front jeans pocket and pulled out what appeared to be a substantial amount of money, which was folded up. It appeared to be all £20 notes.
"She took the money and placed it in a red envelope and passed it to Mr Ashcroft and said: 'This will be good for you, and for me'. He was in no doubt that it was an effort to bribe him. He was shocked and told her to put the money away, then terminated the test."
Su then got out of the driver's seat and assaulted Mr Ashcroft.
Mr Morley added: "He said it drew a little blood, and there were marks on his arms. When interviewed by probation officers, she said she wasn't trying to bribe an official. As is custom, she was trying to gain good luck by passing over money in a red envelope. However, she did not hand over the envelope until she was alone with him in the car and half way through the test."
Su later admitted she tried to bribe the examiner with the money. Michael Hopkinson, defending, said: "In the part of the world where my client originates it's much more common than here, but she knows she must abide by the laws and rules as they exist here."
He added Su had no previous convictions and was pregnant.
Judge David Stockdale QC told her: "You offered the money in expectation that he would in due course record that you passed. That is corruption of a serious kind. Driving examiners carry out important work for the safety of all road users, by ensuring that all those who drive are competent to do so."
