Driving Alone With Only Having a Learners Licence

[scudsucker]

It's one reverse alley docking park difference so far as I recall?

No parallel parking with "C" license, but otherwise not much different.

They still have to do left and right alley docking parking.

Much cheaper and easier to learn the parallel parking technique in a small car.

Parallel parking isn't in the truck driving test

I still remember reversing the first few times with a gun tractor and a G5 in tow during SADF times. Wasn't a big joy at the beginning but quite easy later.

But you don't have to parallel park

After SADF driver training you could even parallel park a Samil 100.

Yeah I used to work with a guy who drove Ratels and Samils, after that he preferred driving big cars. Hmmm wonder why if that's why the big 4x4s took off.

They failed me the last after, as the officer reckons, the backside of the car moved when doing an emergency stop at 30km/h. That said, I was instructed to do it in a road that has numerous shallow potholes of immense size, and I was instructed to attempt the emergency stop when on the a pothole.

Secondly the system is flawed: and I am a good driver. The constant looking around in the test actual poses a hazard to your safety and the safety of drivers around you. You don't spend much time looking in front of you. I was also failed because according to the officer I did not look in the mirror when doing my 360 observation. It is difficult for him to see if he is standing 6m behind the car looking in through the back window. Above that, you wait two to three months for an appointment, its ridiculous. I can't believe the DA a government doesn't do something about the system in the WC.

Service delivery has improved, but the testing point of drivers licences is a sure weak point.

Learn how to ride a motorcycle.
Get your bike learners. Drive alone.on bike with learners licence.
That's what I did. Because I can't drive cars or code 10 vehicles.
Edit: I just got necro pwned.

To ride a bike takes far more focus and discipline.

What's a code 10 vehicle?
I know of code 1,2 and 3? There are no more code 10 licenses. It's A for bikes, B for cars, C for trucks of a certain load, C1 for larger trucks. You also cannot tow a trailer over a certain weight unless you get an EB for a car.

10 is c

Then it must have been perfect for me somehow. I hate to brag, but I'm a pretty good biker. Bike was stolen though. Need a new one.

Didn't know of the Code changes.
Did my driving trials and fails around 2012 - 2013. Back then I drove a code 10 truck to have a better license, let's say some pavements have seen better days
Also attempted car license, more than once. Emotional failure was tough. So now I'd rather ride bikes.

I know, but it's not been a code 10 since 1999. They changed all the codes when the license cards were adopted.

They changed in 1999. But much like people still call Polokwane Petersburg and a few other places it's still stuck in the lexicon.

I think I had only a few minutes to show me all the gears, and then I drove. After a few weeks, I did the test. Passed it without dropping below 4th gear (oops).
