Learners licence code 8,10 & 14; driver's licence code 8,10 & 14; our team. Executive management; branch managers; receptionist; instructors. Code 10 truck hire. It’s time to get your Driver’s Licence! Welcome to GetYourDrivers.co.za! We are a FREE site that aims to help South African learners pass their Driver’s Licence Test. We have some great resources to help you learn to drive and prepare for the K53 driving tests – LMV (Light Motor Vehicles), HMV (Heavy Motor Vehicles) and Motorcycles.
On your full category B1 car licence you can drive vehicles up to 3,500kg Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) with up to 8 passenger seats (with a trailer up to 750kg). You can also tow heavier trailers if the total weight of vehicle and trailer isn’t more than 3,500kg. You can drive motor tricycles with a power output higher than 15kW if you are over 21 years old. Choose carefully when you learn to drive: if you get your licence using an automatic car you will be restricted to only driving cars with an automatic gearbox and will be issued a Category B auto licence. You can obtain a Category B+E licence entitling you to drive a vehicle with a trailer that has a combined weight more than 3,500kg.
When practising these mock theory tests, keep going until you get 100% regularly on the randomly generated 50-question test. This will almost guarantee that you will pass as the questions asked are almost identical to the ones in the actual theory exam. You will also need to take a Hazard Perception Test as part of the theory test requirements. There is a link to one at the end of every set of questions.
Safe driving on your new driver's licence
Driving between midnight and 6am is the most dangerous time. Avoid driving during these times unless it's absolutely necessary.
Passengers are one of the biggest causes of distractions that can lead to an accident. If they're being rowdy, tell them you need to concentrate on the road.
Don't feel the need to compete with other drivers. Let them do their thing; you just need to focus on making progress in your own time.
Alcohol, illegal drugs and some legal drugs can affect your driving, so steer clear of them.
Slow down for bends.
Make sure everyone's wearing a seatbelt.
Make sure your insurance is current - it's an offence to drive without insurance.
If you're learning the Highway Code in order to take the theory test to get your full licence, this website works on your computer, tablet or smartphone. Bookmark it on your smartphone and you can take the quizzes just before you go in to take the actual driving theory test and the knowledge will be fresh in your short-term memory, too.

The Yard Test for Cars and Trucks
The purpose of the yard test is to check how well you handle your vehicle in the time allowed. Some testing centres allow learner drivers to practice the manoeuvres after working hours in the yard where the official test is conducted. Ask your driving instructor to arrange for you to use the yard if this is permitted in your area. This will give you the opportunity to become familiar with the test area. Driving schools also sometimes have their own lots, or organise ones to use – make sure to check this before beginning your driving lessons with a particular driving school or instructor. Even though you will not be out on the open road during the Yard Test, you still need to follow the K53 method of driving.
