Bribes to pass driving tests in SA widespread

[Ichigo]

Passed 1st time round, had to argue with the guy testing me after he told me I'm speeding over 60 when I just passed the 80km board just before the wynberg turn off on the M5 ... failed the learners test like twice I think :-/

Though my brother in law at the time did take me to Bo Kaap to learn how to drive so you could say I learnt the hard way

The learners test was easy passed it first time with a high percentage didnt even have to learn from the book since I knew it from watching my mom and dad drive

felt like an utter idiot when failing my first time.
Have to make an appointment soon.
If I fail again I'd start considering this. I hate the humiliation.

I wonder how many times people are deliberately failed? It would be a prime way to frustrate people into going the bribe route. Best of luck for the next time.

And then there are those who are clueless and could never get a licence without bribing someone for it.

Also the C1 licence for a small truck can get you a licence easier than the car licence. Don't need to reverse or start on an incline. And we wonder why accidents and fatalities keep happening.

/sigh

Given how sht most drivers on SA roads are loads of bought licenses seems pretty close to the mark.

You'd prefer unethical behaviour? After 2 fails? Thats pretty sad.

I have friends who only made it on attempt 5.

My brother failed by crashing into a parked traffic cop.
I couldn't stop laughing for a month.

Haha nice.

I know of people that have gone 7 times and then only got it.

I passed my learners and drivers first time. But I'm slightly older than most of you so I think i made the cut before the officials caught on to the whole lucrative bribing industry.

I managed to get my learners every time, think I did it three times, but every time I would let it expire. Got my drivers license on my first try.

How old are you?
