A friend's drivers license has expired (more than a year now). She's been told (by friends) that she has to retake her test. Is this true or are her friends feeding her a bunch of bs? I thought it was just a case of a few forms, the eyetest and a nominal fee.
 
No need to retake the test.

The actual card is independent from you being qualified to drive a car. Much like if a cop stops you and you don't have your license you get fine for not having the license with you not for the fact that you aren't licensed.

Kindly note the following before reading this notice:

Your South African drivers license card serves as valid proof that you have a South African drivers license. When you’re drivers license card expires, it does not mean that your drivers license has expired - only that the card serving as valid proof that you hold such a license has expired. When you renew your card you will not be expected to undergo a drivers license test.
 
You also get a grace period after the card expires...not sure how much though.
 
I recently went to get a new license card after nearly 2 years after the last one expired.....

Her friends are talking k@k.
 
a friend went to renew his license on Monday and his other license expired in 2008 I think and he had no problem, just did eye test and paid thats all
