Dude just learn how to drive. Practice and study hard for a while, it’s not that hard.

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.

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.
