Reasons for so many failures

Asked why there was such a high failure rate and such a long waiting period for licenses, the Minister of Transport said the South African pass rate "is in line with, for example, that of the United Kingdom, the basis for the South African driving test".

"The big difference is most likely the quality of driver training available in the United Kingdom.

"Second, there are problems with access to driver training, especially in the rural areas.

Third, quite a number of people have the attitude that driving is simple and as soon as they have mastered the principle of clutch control they believe they will pass the test, which is far from the truth."

* 1.2 million Applications for driving licenses had been made during 2006 and 474 320 had been issued.

	* www.learn4licence.co.za/ Many South Africans would like to get their learners and drivers licence the right way. But often odds are stacked against us when we enter the examination room or the instructors vehicle to pass out. Some research has provided the following reasons for this: Learners do not have access to resources or support to be well prepared for learners tests or driving licence tests. Learners can not afford the costs of a tutor services or to purchase a booklet (with questions and answers) Somewhere along the line, an official refused to pass deserving candidates unless he or she gives in to some form of bribery. Unfortunately, as a result, many candidates, deserving of a licence, fail and conversely, undeserving candidates become licensed drivers – making our roads more hazardous to the rest of us. Because of these challenges and threats, Learn 4 Licence was created.
