SOUTH AFRICA DRIVING TEST
Legal Age: 18
RED Rating: 2/5
In South Africa, you have to be at least 18 years old to take the yard test and road test. You lose points on the road test if you do not check the vehicle for leaks and for not using the hand brake when your car is stationary. This is important because if your car rolls back even an inch, you will fail the test automatically. The test is made intentionally hard to improve the safety and the pass rate is just 39 percent. Many learners do not go through the hassle and just bribe the officers to pass the test.
I don’t really know about other cities but in Karachi, people usually bribe or hire an agent for themselves which completes the process himself while you sit on a chair or couch and yawn and you only bother yourself for a picture for the card.
