After two years of driving surreptitiously through blind-spots-of-traffic-policemen sort of places I finally have a license.
In my driving test, which took roughly 20 seconds to complete, I was asked to demonstrate the left turn signal. Period. The rest of the time I was there, all several hours of it, I was queuing for the test itself, or for a picture, and once in front of a stall to buy some water.
Oh, and yes, I paid my bribe to the sergeant (or 'surgeon', as everybody else seemed to refer to him). That is, I paid the money to the tout, who then passed it on discreetly. Very open sort of thing: pay bribe, get license.
No wonder the roads are all going to hell.
But I'm not complaining. I'm a bit shaky on the parking the car bit.

yes yes.
atleast they told you to show the left turn signal.
when my sister went for her test,she stood outside alipore court for a long time after which they told her that she doesnt have to give the test and just gave her a license.
the only question they asked was whether she was above 18.
SUPRISINGLY.
all this without money.
and i dislike the left turn signal.
Heh.
But how is it she wasn't asked for any money?
And so do I. What are indicators for, anyway? I dont even know anyone who still uses hand signals.
If only humans could fly and every car was a Speed Racer Mach 5.
heh! If only!
i WANT a license.
i have a month. i have a month left to get a license... learn to drive (in the reverse order, although, not always)...
and then i go to college.

but i WANT a license. before i change my mind.
@aarshi: Oh, get a license.. You can always learn to drive later!!!
@arunava: Well, how pleasant...
How long before you're comfortable enough driving with your shoes on?
Now everyone knows. Heehee.
