Where did the content for our Learner Driver's License Classroom come from?
Most of the content in the Learner's section is based on the national Road Traffic Act of South Africa.
Although we have obtained permission to reproduce the act (Copyright Authority No. 11363 dated 03 October 2006), in this version of our Learner's and Driver's License Classroom we have not reproduce any material from the Act directly. All interpretation of the Act is our own, and we do not claim to represent the Government in any way, nor are they responsible for errors or omissions on our part.
The content in the Driver's section is based on the Department of Transports K53 Test Manuals, re-used with kind permission from the Department of Transport. The Module Step and Module Notes in the overviews are taken word-for-word from the DoT materials, but other descriptions and additional comments are our own, and once again any errors or omissions are ours. The overview of the Official Driving Test is based on the same materials, and the specifications for the yard test are reproduced exactly. Permission to re-use road signs, signals, and marking images is also from the DoT. We'd like to thank the Department of Transport for their helpful co-operation, but make it clear that we do not represent them, nor do they necessarily endorse this product.
Road Safety in South Africa requires that we have legally licensed drivers on the roads. We approached our expert on Arrive Alive with regards to the K53 and Licensing - Gavin Hoole.
A special thanks to Advocate Johan Jonck, for his tireless campaigning for road safety in South Africa, for his advice, guidance and support, and for his amazing voice.
