An Egyptian teacher who wears the niqab, an outfit usually black and covers the entire body including the face and reveals in some cases, only the eyes, paid an unemployed man to wear the clothing and take her driving test. However, when the man showed up to take the test, traffic security officers noticed his shoes and suspected a man was underneath the clothes.

The man eventually cracked and confessed that the teacher paid him $120 to take the test for her. The woman, who had been waiting at a near by cafe, was arrested.

The number of women wearing the niqab is rising in the North African country, where the majority of Muslim woman wear the headscarf, or hijab.

Egypt has lenient rules that don't force women who wear the niqab to show their face unless in certain cases, such as traveling.
