Just ugly harrasment

Reported on October 4, 2010 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #30443

When we moved to Bangalore, my foreigner husband went to the above office for a driver's test and get his driver's license. He went with Driving School teacher. Husband had already registered with Police Commissioner and had all papers of residency permit. The above office told him that being a foreigner, they do not have any process in place to give driver's license to a foreigner. He spent the WHOLE day there, and no one could give him a proper answer, nor would allow him to take the drivers test. He wasted a WHOLE day there.
Later I called up someone who knows many nris, who put me in touch with an 'agent'. The agent told us we have to pay Rs 2000, took my husband back to the same above office, and quickly H's US drivers licences got converted into this state's license. No test required, no questions asked.
Since then, I have found that this happens to everyone who moves from out of state too.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
