It's ok, I have a license to monkey around
Today while watching an inept driver an insult we used in Malaysia came back to me: kopi-o lesen which means black coffee license. It referred to the practice of bad drivers bribing the road test examiner, and by extension, the licenses thus obtained.
It seems that a few years back Malaysia implemented automation to remove the examiners from sitting beside the drivers under test to put the kibosh on the practice. So hopefully kopi-o lesen will only be a memory for oldies like me. Anyway good to know that my long term memory is still working. 😉
