Hi guys, I failed my automatic driving test today and my parents told me to just bribe?? Is this actually a thing here?? What do I even say?? Who do I talk to?? I signed up to safety driving school who seem legit so would they even take it?? Someone plz help.

    Not saying that’s impossible but your comment is hilarious. If that kind of driving test scam is the norm, so is probably bribing.

      I think it’s a lot of Americans who don’t understand how it is in other countries, as it’s easier and cheaper in the US (I think some states don’t even have a practical test?).

      Like even in Spain it is common for people to go and do it in a small town as in the main cities the failure rate is awful and you have to wait ~6 months between attempts. It’s not exactly outright bribery, but obviously in the small towns they kinda depend on that.

        I did my test in a big city in Europe in a country that has very strict rules and a long process to get the license. If you’re good at driving and know the theory you’ll pass the test, if you’re not good at driving you shouldn’t be on the roads and need to practice more.

        Not an American but 6 month wait time is crazy. But might the failure rate have something to do with just the fact that big cities are more demanding for a driver?

          There’s just a lot of people, and few slots. It was rough before and then Covid came and broke it completely.
