LICENSE TO DRIVE

At last! I have my own driver's license. I have been processing my license since Friday last week. I went through the entire process of applying for the license. I took the written examination and the actual driving test. Now I have my license card with me.
The are two ways on how to acquire a driver's license. You can go through the entire process, and follow all the procedures in acquiring it or you can seek the help of nearby friendly fixers or fixer assisted license. Fixers would charge additional fees in their service in assisting you in acquiring your license. Usually fixer fees triple the amount of the total payable of the license fee.
Take for example in a normal process of acquiring a driver's license, you have to spend at least around 800 for the license. In fixer assisted license the fee would be 1,500 to 2,200 depending on the restrictions of your license and for International driver's license they charge around 15,000. The regular fee for I.D.L. is just 5,000. They really have multiple folds in the fees. Many still seek the services of these fixers because they find it very relaxing and sweat free process. After acquiring their license, they end up broke because of the fees.
