Refuse to pay a bribe. Carry the Motor Vehicles Act with you. Show the RTO that you are conversant with the law. Take the citizens charter of the RTO office with you, and make it clear that you know the rules and regulations. Take the driving test, practice and do a good job at it. Then ask the official why you should pay a bribe if you have passed the test. Carry a mobile and record his conversation. Complain to his senior officer in case he refuses to pass you. Insist on taking a test again, in case he fails you. Yes, you have to continue to assert your rights as an Indian citizen to be treated fairly. If you are scared then you are an easy target. In this country, if you assert yourself, people cannot deny you your right, if the law in on your side. Yes, they can delay you, but they cannot deny you a licence.</p>

Incidentally, in Bangalore, a driving simulator has been installed, which automatically does the test and takes the human element out of the testing system. And do you know who is protesting the most? The driving schools, who pay bribes to get their students passed!</p>
