I choose the long way. This was in 1986.

That's a lot of cash in 86, that's when sort taxi drop was $2

Yeah that was plenty money. I nearly turn back and go home and at the time I walked
from Cipero St. to Licensing Office as I did not know where to get a taxi to reach there.

There is this anonymous reporting system called e-voice.
If anyone employed by the government wants you to pay a bribe then report it.

well today was his test....the bribe was actually $900 according to another school (not calling name).

i told him not to pay d dam bribe cuz his mother gave him money to pay it :evil:

at d end, it was just as some of you guys said: they can't fail him if he do d test properly"

he passed...

on another note: i was told by that same instructor that paying bribe does not guarantee that u will pass the test (it just helps).....led me to think that all this 'bribe' money going into the pockets of the instructors. lol

instructors mus get a commission, otherwise there's no incentive for them to be involved in it

its this kinda sheit does cause fatal accidents. the test is there for a reason. the only reason you need to pay bribe is caz you drive like sheit.

Not condoning it eh but the money paid for the driving test is just incase you make a simple mistake that could be overlooked, if you fog up on the driving test they will still fail you.

The problem is persons paying exorbitant sums to bypass the regs exam and driving test, just showing up to take picture and collect licence, they are the real menaces on the road.

it have some that don't even show up for the picture, they send one from home & permit comes home to meet them

I was asked to pay the bribe..declined and then was failed for not indicating INSIDE the LO yard while parking the car, after the road test
My uncle then tell me pay..best 300 I ever spent.

apparently they try to trick u during the test....

for all the young people, here are some things to look out for when doing the road test:

1. Licensing officer not wearing his seat belt
2. asking you to enter a 'no entry'
3. asking u to turn the car around using a side street (reversing onto main road)
4. asking u to stop suddenly
5. asking u to turn left but then immediately asking u to turn right
