An extract from last year's Transparency International report

'Sixty one per cent of Bangladeshi drivers received their driving licences from the authorities without passing the necessary test, according to a survey by TI Bangladesh. According to those polled during the two-year survey, a person can bribe officials Tk 100 - Tk 7,000 (US $1.50–100 / €1–72) to receive a driving licence, while the registration of a car or motorcycle may be obtained with a bribe of Tk 1,000-50,000 or Tk 100-10,000 (US $15–713 or US $1.50–142 / €11-512 or €1–102) to receive a certificate of roadworthiness without having the vehicle tested.'

Of interest?
