Is this actually a thing here

You would increase your chances to get helpful insight significantly if you'd clarify where "here" is. It's a big world with a ton of countries, and this is an international place.

Here obviously means where OP lives. :^)

Malaysia, based on his other posts

Been to Malaysia. They have driving tests? What are they testing, honking and trying to run people over?

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe that's the answer to OP's "is [bribes] actually a thing here"

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

In some cases it might even be a case of "You actually passed the test, but we want you to pay us more to actually pass."

disclaimer: I know nothing of Malaysia

Then it is very sadly actually the case their. My class college where wondering here in France why I had to pass it so seriously and everything and they told me they simply paid and laughed about it
