Exam for Drivers License in Poland

So how many times did you take to pass a drivers license exam in Poland? I was lucky to pass on the second take. It's much a bigger deal to pass such exam in Poland than in the US or other countries (I assume).

How is it in other countries - do the bribes work the magic too?

I passed on the third time - the driving was more difficult than theory; fortunately I took a couple of *private lessons* with the instructor who "was said to knew the examinator" -- maybe it helped?

For American friends here I should mention that in Poland there are not so many one-way streets; streets are not that wide; and you had to drive a stick-shift. When I was passing the exam you were supposed to drive the examiner's car - usually the one you have seen and driven for the first time in your life .

The written exam in Wisconsin can be done in Polish if you don't know english. I am a registered translator with the DMV and for semi-drivers and motorcycles you need to pass the test in English. So I have to translate the questions into Polish which is all taped so I don't give out the correct answers. ( Ha! I know them by heart )
They don't accept bribes and if you try, you will be expelled.

In Poland they still accept bribes I must say. If not "cash" then other "services". Of course, not everywhere.

Yes, I know. When my brother was graduating from liceum in Poland, The prof. said he won't let him have his matura unless my mom bribes him.
I'm a US Postal Employee and if somebody gives the mail-carrier money, he cannot keep it for himself. When I work Customer Service we cannot accept any extra money, even pennies. It's considered a bribe. It's a goverment job and they have very strict rules about this.
