Went in and out last year, never paid a bribe.
I don't understand why people always pay bribes to anyone. Have some more selfrespect and try to get out of it in another way. I NEVER ever paid ANY bribe and I always got where I wanted. Sometimes it took me forever (Transinstria = 8 hours to get the paperwork done how it should be) and sometimes I had to play stupid etc, but I never paid and I will never pay.
If of course your mind is already set to pay, then you have lost at the game... ;-)
We even got pulled over in Tiraspol but all was ok. No bribe again.
We had to buy insurance though TR was not covered by our insurer... cost me a fortune, 25€ per bike for two weeks I think it was. Can't remember the period but I do remember the price!
We even ended up in the local newspaper...
