Paid bribe for driving license
- Transport
- New Domestic Driving License
- Paid INR 100
Hi,
I came to Bangalore a couple of years ago. I had to get a driving license for two wheeler for my wife. My landlord suggested to go ahead with an agent but since I knew they charge more to pay the bribe to the inspector, I chose to do it on my own.
My wife could get the learning license very comfortably.
But when we went for the test for the first time, she was rejected for license and asked to reappear for the test.
We went there again for a couple of times for the test but in vain. I think took care of all the traffic rules and drove well.
After the third attempt, the assistant to the inspector who was taking the test approached me and said, "If you want to get the license, then hand over 100 bucks to the person in the RTO and the inspector will pass the test." I understood and thought inspite of all the attempt to avoid bribe I will have to finally pay and close it. We already had a lot of issues like re applying for the learning license since the time was over for the first one.
Finally, I paid it and my wife got the license.
The amount might be petty but I was against paying bribe. This caused us lot of trouble of visiting RTO many times.
I think many of us have gone through the same story.
