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.

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

Maybe that’s the answer to OP’s “is [bribes] actually a thing here”

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.

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.

They also posted the same question to askmalaysians, maybe they’re from Malaysia?!

If they are Malaysian, this is definitely an option/might have been expected.

As a fellow road-user - please don’t.

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.
