OMG- It happened to me in Gulf Driving School- everyone I talked to said they paid their instructors extra- like charity money or treat them to a hearty meal or something...infact this one time my driver said "bring me cassette... you listen to indian...bring me cassette"

so yeah- I would say it's a bribe because if you don't give they don't really teach you, the real stuff, they don't take you to the roads and basically your driving would suck, anywhooI didn't give no cassette (not out of spite- because I didnt have any) nor pepsi, nor QR100/- to my instructor or driver or anyone-
i mean why the heck should I? it's already so expensive

my advise, um .. pay ...alil ..i know it's thoroughly unfair but heheh if you don't wanna fail 2 times - pay :P
*Peace*---
