Bribing an Examiner

[Clutchy]

How much do you reckon it would cost to bribe an examiner??

You ride to the test centre (you're a relatively competent rider)

Start it and pull over 5 mins in for the bribe. (Im In no way saying ill do this Just wondered).

Really im asking if he could break the law and his morals but for what amount.

Any examiners here been offered a bribe?

I don't have a clue, but I wouldn't hand over more than £200-300 but you didn't have that as an option so I put 5-600. What's the point spending so much if you can use that money and keep repeating it.

If I was an examiner, I'd say realistically you need to start from about 250 quid upwards.

I think it would take serious money for them to think about risking their careers over it.

Just LOL @ £250... would you really risk a half decent job with half decent money for that?!

By the time you start offering "interesting" money (£500-£1000+), alarm bells would ring, because why would someone offer so much, when it would cost them less to get the training and pass the tests legit?

In some countries it's standard but I don't reckon it happens here very much at all.

lol bribing.

Let's see a job that's at a guess upwards of £10 an hour
At a full time wage 37.5 hours a week for 52 weeks that's £19500 a year

Is it worth losing that for a £250 bribe on-the-sly?
What if that rider then goes out, rides terribly and crashes, killing himself and 8 kittens/children in the process - Is that worth the bribe-on-the-sly?

Yes. No.

So i'd say over £500.
And even then I think they'd laugh at you before telling to fuck off and reporting you to other instructors/riding schools.

I was in a test centre a couple years ago waiting for students to come back from test.

One of the car examiners came into the waiting room and called out an eastern European sounding name. Guy got up and walked over to the examiner and handed over his licence. The examiner started to unfold the paper part and 2 £50 notes fluttered to the floor

"what's that" he said

"it's for you" said mr eastern European.

"for me is it" said mr examiner as he picked them up. "won't be a moment" he said as he went back into his office. He came out a minute or so later as if nothing had happened and off they went for test.

The 2 coppers who arrived 10 minutes of so later waited until mr eastern European returned from test and carted him away suitably cuffed up proclaiming his innonence

Come to think of it I wouldn't even risk a McDonalds job for £250. My integrity is worth more than that...

Offer him £1.25 and a packet of marlboro - or - burger king dinner.

WTF kind of thread is this?

Pass your test like a normal human

Wow Harleyf12, you must really be bricking it Go on, try it, start low and work your way up. Tell us what happened when you come out

[doggone]

It occurred to me the most likely way this might work was if you knew the examiner already - which must happen?
This would put the examiner under some pressure to let you off unless very bad anyway, but you could put the possibility of a bung to them easier in the pub the weekend before.

£500, no less.

[Moxey]

Hmmm lets see mod 2=average £75
so for the minimum bribe level suggested that would be say 5 attempts?

Wonder if the exminer would have more to gain from taking a bribe or subjecting you to the test x amount of times (assuming fails) and possibly getting a legal pay rise whilst retaining job security......

Offer them something they don't get (often) probably the better bribe option if you have a fit sister/gf bring her along in a mini and tube top (needs third option in poll)

$1,000,000 and a night with Shakira.

Bit different now but before the photo licence you could just pay someone else to take the test for you. I remember some guy in B'ham getting caught and admitting to taking tests for over 150 people all over the country.

I strongly suspect that the clipboard fondling failed coppers infesting the DSA would indeed jizz a mega load in their leathers at the opportunity to shop you for even floating the subject.
