Suspicious Button in the Ear: How Gaps in the Examination System Create Security Risks

Answer

How do hidden earpiece devices work in driving exams?

The reported method uses a small receiver hidden in the ear, while a helper outside the exam room receives the questions and sends back the answers by radio. Because the device is so discreet, it can be difficult to notice during a normal exam session. That is why simple visual supervision is often not enough on its own.
