How to eradicate the phenomenon of driving coaches' soliciting and accepting bri
Hot 3 |
Yesterday, my cousin complained to me that her driving coach didn't schedule the driving test subject 2 for her. She has prepared the subject 2 for more than one month and she believed that she could pass it. But her coach, a middle-aged man, didn't schedule the test for her by finding various excuses while helping other trainees who hadn't received much practice to arrange the test. My cousin was very angry, as she thought that's because she didn't give any goods to her coach, however, some other trainees gave cigarette or cartons of drinks to their coach.
Driving coaches' soliciting and accepting bribes from trainees is no longer a secret in the society. Even though there are rules and regulations against soliciting and accepting bribes from trainees, a lot of driving coaches pay no attention to the rules. Overtly and covertly, they still try their best to get goods from the trainees by making difficulties on their way of obtaining the driving license. Some driving coaches even abuse the trainees who make mistakes in practising driving. Some trainees don't care of costing extra money to please the coach only if they can get the driving license, while other trainees are resentful about such kind of phenomenon as they have already paid the training fees and it's no reason for them to pay more.
I do understand my cousin's anger, and I also hate bitterly about those inglorious driving coaches. But I have no idea on how to eradicate this bad phenomenon. What do you think?

- This is ridiculous. The driving test itself is stressful enough and yet the learner drivers still have to worry about greasing the palm of the instructors and pleasing them with bribes. As bribes have no fixed amount, it drives the learners crazy as you won't know what to pay. Besides, the instructors have already been paid their demanded fees, so they should not ask for more. They are just taking advantage of the learners anxiety. It is time for the authorities to arrest a few of them and teach them a lesson, otherwise, these unlawful bribes would run out of control. In my city, any driving instructor or examiner taking bribes goes to 6 months jail immediately. As it would take some time to eradicate them, the learner would have no choice but to find out the amount required by the instructor and try to pass the test first. Nobody can afford to wait that long for a driving licence. Good luck.

- I understand it, It's a common phenomenon in China,but not every coach would be inglorious,i don't think it is greasing to buy bottles of drinks to the coach,even though the coach is paid by their company,they sometimes even do extra works to train the trainees in order to improve the trainees driving skill in a short time,bottles of money would not cost too much and it show the trainees friendship and respect to the coach.it actually please the coach after a whole day repeated and boring job.dear,not everything is fair in the complicated society,so don't be too serious, to be social and keep good relationship with people around you will make you smooth in different aspects.

- Yes, you are right, I am not a very social person, which brought about a lot of obstacles in my career. I should learn to be flexible in doing things. Thank you for your kind recommendation.

- Hello Carol, I believe many people know how to stop bribery but many of them have no power to stop it. It needs the authority to put more tougher regulations and laws to against those bribery. We are ordinary persons, what can we do about it besides the anger......
I know you will have an answer.
