Inability to renew drivers license

I was high jacked on 15 Oct and my drivers license was taken. I went to this testing ground to renew my license lon 18 Oct and they said I can only be assisted on 29 and 30 Oct. I should also arrive from 3am because it gets very full and only 40 people are seen. I asked what I should do in the interim since I am a driver and without a license and they said I can bribe a consultant who can do things for me on the same day. This is such bad corruption for a govt institution. I am trying to be a law abiding citizen but I am forced to, in a way, break the law. This is unacceptable and the dates advised do not make sense. Why are there no vacancies in this place if one cannot be assisted during the month and only 80 people can be seen on 1 weekend. This is utter bull! It is sad that the very country that stipulates laws does not make things simpler for its citizens.
