    Idk where you live but seriously just retake your driving test. If you failed it clearly means you have no business operating a motor vehicle and will probably kill someone or yourself or both.

    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.

    So you’ve learned:

    • driving tests are harder than you thought
    • your parents have ethics problems

    Don’t leave your kids with your parents, is the real take-away here.

    Where’s “here”?

    In some countries they’ll fail you if you don’t bribe, even if your driving was perfect, in others they’ll just overlook small errors that aren’t too dangerous.

    There are places where if you bribe they’ll let you pass even if you can barely drive, in others they’ll call the police on you if you bring it up.

    Ask around locally, you should definitely not bribe if you’d be a danger to yourself and others.

      you can easily kill people driving. learn to drive. if you think they failed you through no fault of yours, try a different place.

        Learning to drive has nothing to do with the driving test though.

        It’s a monopolistic scam as they know they can deny a lot of people who have no option but to pay again.

    You need to pass the safety test, not pay for it. It will only make you a better and more confident driver

    Money won’t be there in the moment when those developed instincts are required
