Are driving test officers too horny?

COMMENT:

Judging by a certain rumbling we heard this week, it would appear that the integrity of the South African driving licence system is under threat because testing officers are having some trouble inside their trousers. Something of a battle to resist the charm of a gorgeous pair of legs, more specifically.

But shouldn't we rather be blaming those opportunistic ladies who like to strut their stuff whenever there's something to gain?

That seems to be what our ever-vocal transport minister, Sibusiso Ndebele, implied earlier this week.

The Daily Sun quoted him as saying: “No miniskirts for women taking a driving test. It's fine if you like wearing miniskirts, but they shouldn't be extra short on the day of the test as they distract male testing officers.”

According to Sapa, the ministry spokesman has since denied that Ndebele spoke out against women wearing miniskirts during licence tests, citing the newspaper report as inaccurate, and stating that he was simply telling officers to carry themselves appropriately and professionally.

Paul from south nutfield driving lessons said “They (the officers) should not be interested in how applicants are dressed but should pay more attention to carrying out their duties properly.”

That should be a given, surely.

Any ladies out there who've 'dressed down' in the hope of gaining a licence?
