Government looking at scrapping K53 driver’s test: report

The Department of Transport has supported the idea of scrapping the K53 testing system due to the high levels of corruption surrounding testing centres and the increasing death-toll on South African roads.

The RTMC says it has found that the k53 is no longer relevant for South African drivers.

“The K53 has not been revised since it was introduced in South Africa, and a lot has happened. Even the technology used in vehicles is far more advanced,” says RTMC spokesperson Simon Zwane.
