I try every time the straight method first. I feel extremely uncomfortable to bribe anybody. For example, I have personally bribed only once, that was 15 years back to a cop who heldup my passport. Unfortunately, I have to deal with the government on a routine basis these days. Thankfully there are consultants (middlemen who have registered office and give receipts) for these things.

Only as last resort instead of remaining licenseless.

Hope you luck continues forever.
