Licensing - Bribe Money Still A Thing?

[stev]

I did a search but didn't really come up with anything...


So I will be carrying my little cousin later this week to do his driving test....he told his parents that he needed $500 for the license, $300 to rent d car and another $500 to 'make sure he passes' according to his driving instructor (not calling name of school).

....how do I go about dealing with this? am I allowed to be up close and personal when he is doing his driving exam? if i see the officer fail him for no real reason...what should I do?


*edit* - I know this bribe thing going on a long time but i never had to deal with it...even way back when I got my license....that's why I'm asking

[tr1ad]

Just make sure he does the driving test properly

[black start]

The officer wont fail him if he does everything correctly tho

Was $200 they was asking for in my day (2000). Didn't pay and went for test. Officer was talking to someone and told me to start.
Stated doing L reverse while officer wasn't looking. less than a minute later she told me to exit vehicle. Failed me for reversing too slow [CRYING FACE][CRYING FACE]

No the bribe money is to make sure the officer dont make some sheit up to fail you.

[black start]

If e pay e bribe and still fail, you still cyah do one fork....

And even then, if e bribe and still fail, he shouldn't be let near a vehicle...

[rspann]

The officers don't fail you for nothing, the driving instructors tell you that and hustle that money for themselves. When my sons went up I told them not to pay any bribe( although the instructor said 'the officer dread he does fail man for nuttin')They still pass.

Only fools pay bribes

[triston]

When I went for heavy t in sando, the day of driving test, the school said to pass 400 to make sure I pass. Tell them things hard. When the officer went with me on the rd for test, I told him what school said. The man turned red saying how them could do that. I hit the truck roof and mirror on a tree branch, and the officer still pass me. This bribe thing is for too much greedy people.

Sex with little or no lubricants is a bit of discomforting , even if its your personal lube

Never experience the bribe thing. My instructor mentioned that it happening but he doesn't partake in that sh1t.

[Spitfir3]

only $500?? thought it was more like a grand anyway its not like they just throw it out there for you can do the test normally just show up for the proper date you are given

Me too, didnt even know bribing was a thing when I was doing my test, didnt have money to bribe the man anyway but still passed and may probably be a better driver for it today seeing the amount od people that cant drive a manual

[silent_riot]

For my test, the officer, after saying good morning, plainly said to the group of us that if anyone has to bribe him, please do it now so he can pass you and not waste his time. We chuckled, and thought it was a joke, and went about to do the tests.

This. It possible the amount of serious road accidents is relative to the amount of people who paid for their license.

I was failed for not looking over my shoulder at all times while reversing... Which never happened... Did back test couple months after... Told driving school I wudd pay the 200 bribe wen my pops pick me up after... Passed test with the occifer riding the clutch and directing me... Wen I was goin into car I saw the driving skool guy giv d occifer a thumbs up... After I passed I never paid the 200 and told the driving school to report me to the police

Possible, but the importation of Tiidas is the main cause.

Burn a Tiida, save a life.

On the day of my exam the usual officer wasn't there. The substitute officer told the group I know some of you handle your business with the other officers and he not in that, if you want to reschedule come collect you stuff. About 5 of us did the exam that day out of about 11 people.

Similar experience
Back then one officer did all the odd numbers and another did all the even;
One didn't show up so one officer had to do all; he was pissed. He told everyone up front that if you all came with the intention of paying .... Don't bother

[Seeker]

I remember when I first went to see an instructor at san f'do licensing, he told me I have two options
- I could pay him $500 now and he could my permit without taking any test or do it the 'long' (right)
way.

I choose the long way. This was in 1986.

Yea but think about if only 5 people bribe a day
$2500/day
$12,500/week
$50,000/month

Dem fellas don't need a salary

[The_Honourable]

If I remember correctly, you must pass the 3 point turn (yard test) since pretty much everybody would be witnessing that, so if yuh fail... hard luck. Once you pass that, then you go for the road test which would be easy once you pay the facilitation fee. Yuh might just have to drive around a bend and come back in the yard.
