At the oral test, I answered all relevant LMV license question but then the officer proceeded to ask me questions relating to heavy vehicles when I had gone for an LMV license. He told me I had to know it and didn't issue the learners licence. The girl in my class who had not answered anything was reminded of the need to learn the answers and promptly issued the learners. I was seething with anger. My instructor went and paid a bribe and I was issued a license; he did it without my permission and then proceeded to tell me about some home truths, but he never asked me for the money back, and I never gave it to him, but I felt cheated and angry.
