An employee of a drive test centre has been jailed for accepting
a bribe from a driving instructor, who has also been jailed.
Harvey Aitchison worked as a driving examiner for DriveTest
Centre, the agency that tests Ontario drivers, in Oakville. He
accepted bribes from Cyril Julius Marques, who was the owner
and driver instructor of a driving school, to guarantee that that
Marques' driving students passed their Ministry of
Transportation road examination.
Marques would charge $450.00 to his driver students, $300.00 of
which he would give to Aitchison. Marques would keep the
remaining $150.00. The bribing came to light after Marques
offered a DriveTest coordinator a pack of cigarettes if she
assigned Aitchison to test his student. The coordinator blew
the whistle. Aitchison resigned from his job.
