Where to start<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo drive a vehicle would-be drivers must pass a learner\u2019s test. To pass this test one needs to study and understand the rules of the road, road markings, road signs and the controls of a vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use a K53 book to study all you need to know. If you don\u2019t wish to buy the book, borrow one from a public library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you\u2019re out and about, try to properly identify road markings and signs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t be afraid to ask a driver to explain a rule or road sign. Be sure to go over practise and mock tests that are available online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must also undergo an eye test in order to get your learner\u2019s licence, which is valid for two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you apply to write the test, you will need your official South African identity document, two ID-size black and white or colour photographs (35 mm x 45 mm) and the R68 application fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visit www.getyourlearners.co.za\/test for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking the test<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have submitted your form, you will be given a date for your test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can cancel this date only if you are sick (you\u2019ll need to provide a medical certificate) or attending a funeral (you\u2019ll need to provide a death certificate), or if you are writing exams (you\u2019ll have to provide a timetable). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The payment won\u2019t be refunded if you cancel your appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re not able to make your test, make sure to cancel it, as it causes a backlog in the appointment system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need to pay R33 for the learner\u2019s licence once you have passed the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking to the road<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have passed the written test a driver with a learner\u2019s licence can take to the road, but a licensed driver must accompany you at all times (except on a motorcycle). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A learner driver may not carry another person on a motorcycle. Remember you can only drive the type of vehicle your licence is valid for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep your learner\u2019s licence with you. Once you have your learner\u2019s permit you can make an appointment to get your driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
