Learner’s Licence
The K53 Learner’s licence Random Test Generator
The K53 RTG is used to test, study and prepare for your theoretical learner’s licence test. The program
includes light motor vehicles, heavy vehicles as well as motorcycle theory.
The test is designed to generate random a test each time, therefore no two generated tests will be the
same. However, the program was also designed in such a way that after a minimum of 10 tests has
been completed, all the questions in the database will have been viewed at least once.
Installation: To install the program do the following:

1. Place the CD into the CD-ROM
2. Double click the “My Computer” icon.
3. Double click the D:\ (CD-ROM) icon.
4. Now a window will appear with the following icons that you can double click, namely:
“Install_R_T_G”, and “ jdk-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p.exe”. This is a java program and you
must first install java in order to run the program. (If you already have a jre installed on your
system it must be a version later than 1.5.02).
5. Double click the “jdk-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p.exe” icon and follow the on screen
instructions to install the JRE.
6. Click on the “I accept the agreement” button and press next. Just click all the “next” buttons
that will appear until the installation is complete.
7. Double click the “Install_R_T_G” icon to begin the installation program.
• Follow the on screen instructions of the installation program to install the R.T.G on your
system.
• There are two ways to start the K53 R.T.G programme. You can click on the icon showed
below. This icon will be on the desktop of you computer.
Or you can use the shortcut made in the start menu. Click start, programs, K53 Random Test Generator
and then the K53_R_T_G icon.
Generate a test To generate a test do the following:

Learner’s Licence
1. Choose the appropriate language by clicking on the language of your choice.
2. Choose the type of learner’s licence test that you want to generate by clicking on code 1,2,3.
3. Click on the “Click here to start” button to generate your test.
The test contains three sections, namely:

1. Rules of the road (25 questions)
2. Road signs and road markings (25 questions)
3. Vehicle controls (5 questions)
Complete the generated test by clicking on the correct answers and using the scrollbar on the right
hand side of the screen to scroll up or down and view the rest of the questions. A question has only one
correct answer.
You will notice that there is a timer at the top right-hand corner of the screen. After one hour the time will
expire and the test will be marked automatically and show your results. If you finish the test before the
time expires, simply click the “mark test” button at the bottom of the test, to mark the test and show the
results.
In order to pass a test no more than 5 questions may be answered incorrectly for section 1 and 2 (Rules
of the road, and “road signs and road markings”) and no more than one question may be answered
incorrectly for section 3 (Vehicle controls).
The number of questions answered correctly will be displayed for each section individually. You must
succeed in all sections in order to pass the whole test.
To return to your test to view incorrect answers click on the yellow “Go back to test” button. Your
answers will be shown as well as the correct answers highlighted in green.
Study
To study for the learner’s licence test, generate a test and do the following:
1. Stop the timer by clicking on the timer menu at the top left-hand corner of the screen, and
then selecting “stop timer” from the menu.
2. To show the answers, click on the “Answers” option in the top menu and select “Show
answers”.
Now there will be no time limit and all the answers will be highlighted in green. You can therefore study
the questions and answers for as long as you like.
It is recommended that you study through at least 10 tests in this manner before you test yourself.
Generate a new test

If you are finished with the test, click on the “Test” menu option in the top menu and select “Generate
test” from the menu to go back to the first screen and allow you to select different options and generate
a new test.

English Driver’s Licence
PROLOGUE
The aim with this CD is primarily to acquaint the holder of a learner’s licence, of what
he/she has to be able to do on the day when he/she will be tested by a registered testing
officer before a valid driving licence will be issued.
It is imperative that you should first read this booklet prior to watching the visual material.
PRACTICAL LICENCE TEST

Exterior Pre-trip procedure
(Report to the testing officer the following in a conversational manner – maximum of three
minutes of the exterior and interior):
• The pre-trip inspection, must be done before every departure in an anti-clockwise

way starting at the driver’s door, check for any obstacle underneath the vehicle
and behind and in front of the tyres, as well as any oil leakages.
• Make sure that each door is working properly and that all doors can open from
the inside and the outside of the vehicle.
• Check that all of the windows of the doors work properly, and that the outside
right-hand mirror is:
• clean,
• undamaged,
• secure (c.u.s.- formula).
• Moving on to the windscreen you check for cracks, marks and anything that will
obstruct your vision when driving, and check that the wiper blades are
still in order.
• There are four things you must mention when checking each tyre, namely:
• The running surface of the tyre is acceptable (grooves must be at least

1 mm deep over 75% of the running surface).
• There are no cuts or knobs on the side-wall of the tyre.
• Tyre pressure is correct.
• The nuts or bolts of the tyre rim are secure.
• At the front of the vehicle check that the head lights, indicators and number plate
are still clean, attached and not broken and make sure that the
registration number of the vehicle corresponds with the registration disc number
affixed to the windscreen of the vehicle.

Afrikaans Bestuurders Lisensie
VOORWOORD
Die doel met hierdie CD is hoofsaaklik om die houer van ’n leerlinglisensie vertroud te
maak met wat hy/sy in staat moet kan wees om te doen op die dag wat hy/sy deur ’n
geregistreerde toetsbeampte getoets sal word voordat ’n geldige bestuurslisensie uitgereik
sal word.
Dit is uiters belangrik dat jy eers dié boekie sal lees voordat jy na die visuele materiaal kyk.
PRAKTIESE LISENSIETOETS
Buitevoertuig Voorrit-inspeksieprosedure
(Lewer mondelings op ’n geselstrant kommentaar aan die toetsbeampte oor wat jy besig is
om te kontroleer). Maksimum tyd hiervoor – drie minute, buite en binne.)
• Die voorritinspeksie moet voor elke vertrek gedoen word. Altyd in ’n anti-
kloksgewyse rigting, begin by die bestuurder se deur, kyk vir enige obstruksies
onder die voertuig en voor en agter die wiele, asook enige olielekke onder die
voertuig.
• Maak seker dat elke deur in werkende toestand is en dat alle deure van binne en
buite kan oopmaak.
• Kontroleer dat al die vensters van die deure in werkende toestand is en dat die
buitespieël regs:
• heel
• skoon, en
• stewig is (hss-formule)
• Beweeg dan na die windskerm, kyk vir krake, merke en enige iets wat jou sig kan
versper as jy sou bestuur en kontroleer dat die ruitveër heel is.
• Daar is vier dinge wat jy moet doen wanneer jy die bande kontroleer, naamlik:
• Die loopvlak van die band moet aanvaarbaar wees (groewe moet ten minste 1
mm diep wees oor 75% van die loopvlak).
• Daar moet geen snye of knoppe op die kant van die band wees nie.
• Die banddruk in orde is.
• Die boute en moere van die bandvelling vas is.
• Aan die voorkant van die voertuig, kontroleer dat die hoofligte, flikkerligte se
lense en die nommerplaat nog skoon is, vas is en nie gebreek is nie. Maak ook
seker dat die registrasienommer van die voertuig ooreenstem met die
lisensieskyfnommer wat op die windskerm vasgeplak is.
29
English
• Under the bonnet you must be able to name and point out the following (if the
testing officer requires it):
• Radiator and other water levels were checked as well as

• Oil level.
• Brake fluid, and
• Fan belt.
• Moving anti-clockwise around the vehicle, check that the left front tyre is in the
same condition as the previous one, the windscreen and wiper blade are secure
and undamaged, and check that the licence disk of the vehicle is still valid
and corresponds with the registration plate.
• Check each door, mirror and tyre just as you did on the driver’s side of the
vehicle.
• At the rear end of the vehicle check that the following are attached and not
broken:
• Brake and park light lenses.

• Window.
• Number plate.
• State that the vehicle has a jack, properly inflated spare wheel and wheel
spanner inside the boot and that they are in working order.
• State that the fuel cap is secure and that the doors, tyre and windows are all in
the same condition as the previous ones; ending where you started.
Interior Pre-trip procedure

(Also verbally reported to the testing officer.)
• Inside the vehicle check that your seat is in the correct position; you can see
in all three the mirrors and, that there are no obstacles underneath your feet or
pedals. Check that your seat belt is working properly; the emergency
brake of the vehicle is activated and that the gear lever is in a neutral position.
Check that you have pressure on both clutch and brake pedals.
• Now, on request of the testing officer, check the working order of your vehicle’s
indicators, brake lights and headlights both in front of the vehicle and at the rear.
Finally check the wipers and hooter of the vehicle (test both physically).
• Now we know that our vehicle is safe and working properly and we may begin
our driving.
30
Afrikaans
• Onder die enjinkap moet jy die volgende noem of kan uitwys en kontroleer
(indien die toetsbeampte dit sou vereis):
• Verkoeler en ander watervlakke is nagegaan, asook

• Olievlak.
• Remvloeistof, en
• waaierband.
• Nog steeds in ’n anti-kloksgewyse rigting om die voertuig, kontroleer die linker

voorband dat dit presies soos die vorige band is, die windskerm en ruitveër vas
en heel is, kontroleer dat die lisensieskyfie van die voertuig nog geldig
is en ooreenstem met die nommerplaat.
• Kontroleer elke deur, spieël en band net soos jy aan die bestuurderskant van die
voertuig gedoen het.
• Aan die agterkant van die voertuig kontroleer dat die volgende vas en heel is:
• Remlig en parkeerlense.
• Agterruit.
• Nommerplaat.
• Meld dat die voertuig ’n domkrag het, ’n korrek gepompte noodwiel en

wielsleutel binne in die bagasiebak het en dat alles in werkende toestand is.
• Meld dat die brandstofprop stewig is en die deure, band en vensters in dieselfde
toestand as die voriges is - eindig waar jy begin het.
Binnekajuit Voorrit-inspeksieprosedure
(Ook mondelings genoem aan die toetsbeampte.)
• Binne in die voertuig, kontroleer dat jou sitplek in die regte posisie is, dat jy in
al drie die spieëls kan sien en dat daar geen obstruksies onder jou
voete en onder die pedale is nie. Kontroleer dat jou sitplekgordel in werkende
toestand is, die noodrem van jou voertuig geaktiveer is en dat die rathefboom in
’n neutrale posisie is. Kontroleer dat jy drukking het op beide die koppelaar- en
rempedale.
• Nou, op aanvraag van die toetsbeampte, kontroleer die werkende toestand

van jou voertuig se flikkerligte, remligte en hoofligte aan die voorkant
sowel as aan die agterkant. As finale aksie kontroleer die toeter en die ruitveërs
van die voertuig (toets beide fisies).
• Nou weet ons dat ons voertuig veilig en in werkende toestand is en dat ons mag
begin bestuur.

English
Driving off to be tested in the yard
Observation (as for the rest of your life)
The basic observation you must be able to master is the five point observation, according
to the following procedure:
• Check the blind spot over your left shoulder.

• Left-hand mirror.
• Rear view mirror in the middle.
• Right-hand mirror.
• Blind spot over your right shoulder.
Before driving (as for the rest of your life)
As we mentioned earlier there are a few things that we have to check before driving:
• Make sure that the emergency brake is applied.

• The gear lever is in neutral.
• You can see in all three mirrors.
• That the seat is in the correct position for driving.
• The seat belt is in working order.
The steering method (as for the rest of your life)
Defensive driving (K53) prescribes that the steering wheel must be held in a very specific
manner: The hands should be in the ten to two position, with the thumbs resting on the
outer rim of the steering wheel.
When turning the steering wheel, your arms or hands should preferably never cross each
other. The ideal is to push the steering wheel with the hand furthest away from your
chosen direction of turn and to pull with the hand closest to your chosen direction of turn.
If a wider turn is executed, and the hands have to be adjusted, this push/pull method must
be applied.
Pulling away (as for the rest of your life)
Before you pull into a road, the following must be done:
• Switch on the vehicle.
Do the five point observation starting on any side of vehicle checking the blind spot, side
mirror, rear view mirror, side mirror and the other blind spot yet again.
• Indicate the direction you have chosen to turn into.

• Put the vehicle in first gear.
32
Afrikaans
Beweging na die toetsgronde
Observasie (soos vir die res van jou lewe)
Die basiese observasie wat jy moet bemeester is die vyfpunt observasie wat soos volg
uitgevoer word:
• Kontroleer die blindekol oor jou linkerskouer.

• Linkerhandse spieël.
• Truspieël vir agtersig in die middel.
• Regterhandse spieël.
• Blindekol oor jou regterskouer.
Voor bestuur (soos vir die res van jou lewe)
Soos vroeër genoem, is daar ’n paar dinge wat ons moet kontroleer voordat ons begin
bestuur:
• Maak seker dat die noodrem geaktiveer is.

• Die rathefboom in neutraal is.
• Jy in al drie die spieëls kan sien.
• Dat die sitplek in die korrekte posisie is vir bestuur.
• Dat die sitplekgordel in werkende toestand is.
Die stuurmetode (soos vir die res van jou lewe)
Die Defensiewe Bestuurmetode (K53) skryf voor dat die stuurwiel op ’n spesifieke manier
vasgehou moet word: Die hande moet in die tien voor twee posisie wees, met die duime
wat rus op die buiterand van die stuurwiel.
Wanneer die stuurwiel gedraai word, moet die hande en arms liefs nooit gekruis word nie.
Dit is ideaal om die stuurwiel met die hand verste weg van jou gekose draairigting te stoot
terwyl die hand die naaste aan jou gekose draairigting die stuurwiel moet trek.
Wegtrek (soos vir die res van jou lewe)
Voordat jy in ’n openbare pad in beweeg, moet jy die volgende doen:
• Skakel die voertuig aan.
Doen die vyfpunt observasie, begin aan enige kant van die voertuig – kyk in die blindekol,
kantspieël, truspieël, die ander kantspieël en die ander blindekol by wyse van herhaling.
• Sein in die rigting wat jy gekies het.

• Skakel die voertuig in eerste rat.
• Kontroleer die blindekol in die rigting waarheen jy draai.
• Slegs dan mag die noodrem gedeaktiveer word en weggetrek word.
33
English
• Check the blind spot in the direction you are turning into.
• Only then can you lower the emergency brake and pull away.
Clutch control (as for the rest of your life)
Make sure that you establish clutch control, before you deactivate the emergency brake.
When you feel the vehicle “wants” to start moving while the clutch pedal is slowly released,
then you have clutch control and whilst keeping your foot on the clutch pedal in the same
position and deactivating the emergency brake, the vehicle will start moving automatically.
YARD TEST
(Maximum 17 minutes, remember you have already used three minutes for the pre-trip
inspections.)
Before each manoeuvre there are certain procedures that you must perform before you can
start, namely:
• Activate the emergency brake of your vehicle.

• Put the gear lever in a neutral position.
• Do the five point observation where you check the following:
• Left blind spot.

• The left-hand outside mirror.
• The rear view mirror.
• Right-hand mirror.
• The right blind spot.
• Indicate in the direction you are going to turn into.

• Put the vehicle in the right gear.
• Do the five point observation again.
• Deactivate the emergency brake.
• Now you can start moving (but remember as soon as you start turning to check
the appropriate blind spot).
Alley Docking
Alley Docking to the LEFT
Stop the vehicle in the demarcated block as marked on the road.
After stopping:
• Activate the emergency brake.

• Put the gear lever in neutral.
• Do the five point observation.
34
Afrikaans
Koppelaarbeheer (soos vir die res van jou lewe)
Maak seker dat jy koppelaarbeheer uitoefen, voordat jy die noodrem deaktiveer. Wanneer
jy voel dat die voertuig “wil” begin beweeg, terwyl die koppelaarpedaal stadig uitgelaat
word, dan het jy koppelaarbeheer terwyl jou voet op die koppelaarpedaal in dieselfde
posisie gehou word en die noodrem gedeaktiveer word. Die voertuig sal dan outomaties
begin beweeg.
DIE WERFTOETS
(Maksimum 17 minute, onthou jy het alreeds drie minute vir die voorritinspeksies gebruik.)
Voor elke beweging moet jy sekere prosedures uitvoer voordat jy kan begin, naamlik:
• Aktiveer die noodrem van jou voertuig.

• Plaas die rathefboom in ’n neutrale posisie.
• Doen die vyfpunt observasie, waar jy die volgende kontroleer:
• Blindekol links.
• Buitespieël links.
• Die truspieël.
• Buitespieël regs.
• Blindekol regs.
• Sein in die rigting waarheen jy gaan draai.

• Skakel die voertuig in die regte ratposisie.
• Doen die vyfpunt observasie weer ’n keer.
• Deaktiveer die noodrem.
• Nou mag jy begin beweeg (onthou kry koppelaarbeheer), maar onthou om die
toepaslike blindekol te kontroleer voordat jy begin draai.
Gangparkering
Gangparkering na LINKS
Stop die voertuig in die afgebakende blok, soos op die padoppervlakte gemerk.
Nadat jy gestop het:
• Aktiveer die noodrem.

• Doen die vyfpunt observasie.
• Sein na LINKS.
• Skakel die rathefboom in die truposisie.
• Doen weer die vyfpunt observasie.
35
English
• Indicate to the LEFT.
• Put the gear lever in the reverse position.
• Now you can start moving, but as soon as you start turning, check
your blind spot over your RIGHT shoulder, because you are
moving backwards, whilst turning left.
Make sure that you do not start turning too early or too soon, as you will hit one of the
obstacles (posts) or the pavement.
An immediate termination of your practical test may be one of the following:
• Your vehicle hits an obstacle.

• Your vehicle rolls forward or backwards if you are supposed to stand
still, or rolls in the opposite direction in which you intend to drive.
• If you mount the kerb.
• Any uncontrolled or dangerous action.
• Any violation of a traffic law.
• Any violation of a road traffic sign.
• Exceeding the number of attempts on a manoeuvre.
Without stopping, reverse slowly through the posts, without hitting them, until you almost
reach the end of the alley.
After stopping:

• Indicate to the RIGHT.
• Put the gear lever in first gear.
• Now you can start moving towards the demarcated block on your
RIGHT, but as soon as you start turning, check your blind
spot over your LEFT shoulder, because you are moving forward.
Alley Docking to the RIGHT
Stop the vehicle in the demarcated block as marked on the road.

• Nou mag jy begin beweeg, maar onthou om die oomblik as jy begin draai die
blindekol oor jou REGTERskouer te kontroleer omdat jy agteruit begin
beweeg en na links draai.
Maak seker dat jy nie te vroeg begin draai nie, jy mag dan dalk een van die paaltjies of die
randsteen raak.
Die onmiddellike beëindiging van jou praktiese toets mag die gevolg van een van die
volgende wees:
• Jou voertuig raak ’n hindernis (paaltjie).

• Jou voertuig rol vorentoe of agtertoe as jy veronderstel is om doodstil te staan, of
rol in die teenoorgestelde rigting waarin jy wil ry.
• As jy bo-op die randsteen beland.
• Enige onbeheerde of gevaarlike aksie uitvoer.
• Enige oortreding van ’n verkeersreël.
• Enige oortreding van ’n padverkeersteken.
• Die aantal pogings om ’n beweging uit te voer, oorskry.

using the brake, and then the clutch pedal.
After stopping:

• Remember to check your blind spot to the RIGHT as the last action, before
turning.
Remember that you may not change gears whilst turning. It must be done before or after
turning.

Laanverwisseling
Beweging na die REGTERlaan
• Kontroleer die drie spieëls.

• So ook die blindekol in die laan waarheen jy wil beweeg, in dié geval REGS.
• Sein na REGS.
• Kontroleer weer die blindekol na REGS.
• Beweeg met veiligheid oor na die ander laan.
Beweging na die LINKERlaan

• So ook die blindekol in die laan waarheen jy wil beweeg, in dié geval LINKS.
• Sein na LINKS.
• Kontroleer weer die blindekol na LINKS.
• Beweeg met veiligheid oor na die ander laan.
Onthou om jou kop te draai in elke kruising waardeur jy beweeg om dit te kontroleer.
Links- en Regsdraai by ’n stopteken
REGSdraai
As ’n REGSdraai beoog word:
• Kontroleer jou drie spieëls,

• asook die blindekol na REGS.
• Sein na REGS.
• Kontroleer jou drie spieëls en bring die voertuig tot algehele stilstand deur eerste
die rempedaal en dan die koppelaarpedaal te gebruik.
Nadat gestop is:

• Kontroleer regs en links by die kruising.
• Onthou om in jou blindekol REGS te kyk as die laaste aksie voordat jy draai.
Onthou, jy mag nie ratte verwissel terwyl jy draai nie – dit moet gedoen word nadat jy
gedraai het.

Turning to the LEFT
As you approach a LEFT turn, you must:

• and the blind spot to the LEFT,
• and indicate to the LEFT.
After stopping:

• Remember to check your blind spot to the LEFT as the last action, before
turning.
Stopping at a stop sign without the proper road markings
When there is no road marking at a stop sign and no line to stop behind, make yourself an
imaginary line parallel to the stop sign and stop at least a metre away from the imaginary
line.
The correct and incorrect way of turning
There are two incorrect and unsafe ways of turning, namely:
• Cutting a corner, thus turning too soon and maybe colliding with another vehicle,
or
• taking the turn too wide resulting in hitting the pavement.
Now view the correct way of turning.
The yellow cross on the road
You may never stop on top of a yellow cross road marking. You may only stop in front of it
or behind it. If you stop on top of it, you are obstructing the traffic that is supposed to turn
there – resulting into the immediate termination of your road test.

Afrikaans
LINKSdraai
As ’n LINKSdraai beoog word:

• asook die blindekol na LINKS.
• Sein na LINKS.
• Kontroleer jou drie spieëls en bring die voertuig tot algehele stilstand deur eerste
Nadat gestop is:

• Kontroleer regs en links by die kruising.
• Onthou om in jou blindekol LINKS te kyk as die laaste aksie voordat jy draai.
Stop by ’n stopteken sonder die behoorlike padmerke
Wanneer daar geen padmerke by ’n stopteken is en geen lyn waaragter jy moet stop nie;
bepaal vir jouself ’n denkbeeldige lyn parallel met die stopteken en stop dan ten minste ’n
meter agter daardie denkbeeldige lyn.
Die korrekte en verkeerde manier om te draai
Daar is twee verkeerde en onveilige maniere om te draai, naamlik:
• Om ’n draai te sny, jy draai te vroeg en mag dalk bots met ’n ander voertuig, of
• om ’n draai te wyd te neem, wat tot gevolg het dat die randsteen getref word.
Kyk nou na die korrekte manier van draai.
Die geel kruis op die padoppervlakte
Jy mag nooit bo-op ’n geel kruis wat op die padoppervlakte geverf is, stop nie. Jy
mag slegs voor of agter dit stop. As jy bo-op dit stop, is jy besig om ander verkeer wat
veronderstel is om daar te draai, se weg te versper – en druip jy onmiddelik jou padtoets.

English
Traffic lights
Stop and proceed straight on
Just before stopping at a stop sign or anywhere else:

Make sure if there is another vehicle in front of you and that you keep a distance of at least
three metres, from it when you stop – this is your “clear space”.
After stopping:

• Put the gear lever in neutral and wait for the other traffic light to turn amber.
• As soon as the other drivers’ traffic light turns amber you can:
• Wait for the green light.
• Check right and left before entering the intersection.
Turning Left and Right at a traffic light
Turning to the RIGHT

• The blind spot to the RIGHT.

Make sure that if there is another vehicle in front of you that you keep a distance of at least
three metres, from it.

Afrikaans
Verkeersligte
Stop en reguit aanry
Voordat by ’n stopteken of enige ander plek gestop word:
• Kontroleer jou drie spieëls.

• Rem deur slegs die rempedaal te gebruik – net voordat jou voertuig tot stilstand
kom, moet die koppelaar gebruik word.
Maak seker dat, as daar ’n ander voertuig voor jou is, jy nie nader as drie meter van dié
voertuig af stop nie – dit is die “skoon ruimte”.
Nadat gestop is:

• Plaas die rathefboom in neutraal en wag vir die ander bestuurders se verkeerslig
om na oranje oor te slaan.
• Sodra daardie lig oranje gekleur het:
• Wag vir die groen lig.
Links- en Regsdraai by ’n verkeerslig
REGSdraai
As jy beoog om regs te draai, doen die volgende:

• Die blindekol na REGS.
• Sein na REGS.
• Kontroleer jou drie spieëls en bring die voertuig tot algehele stilstand deur eers
Net voordat by ’n stopteken of enige ander plek gestop word:

• Rem deur slegs die rempedaal te gebruik – net voordat jou voertuig tot stilstand
kom mag jy die koppelaar gebruik.
Maak seker dat, as daar ’n ander voertuig voor jou is, jy nie nader as twee meter van dié

After stopping:

• Put the gear lever in neutral and wait for the other traffic light to turns amber.
• Turn to the right and remember to check the blind spot to the right as the last
action before turning.
Remember that you may not change gears whilst turning. It must be done before or after
turning.
Turning to the LEFT
As you approach a left turn, you must:

• The blind spot to the LEFT.

• brake using only the brake pedal, and just before the vehicle comes a complete
standstill, apply the clutch.
Make sure that if there is another vehicle in front of you that you keep a distance of at least
three metres, from it (clear space).
After stopping:

• Put the gear lever in neutral and wait for the other traffic light to turn amber.

voertuig af stop nie.
Nadat gestop is:

• Draai nou REGS indien veilig, so nie wag vir alle aankomende verkeer en onthou
om in jou blindekol REGS te kyk as die laaste aksie voordat jy begin draai.
Onthou dat jy nie ratte mag verwissel terwyl jy besig is om te draai nie. Dit moet voor of
nadat gedraai is, gedoen word.
LINKSdraai
Wanneer jy die linksdraaipunt nader:

• Die blindekol na LINKS.
• Sein na LINKS.
• Kontroleer jou drie spieëls en bring die voertuig tot algehele stilstand deur eers
Net voordat by ’n stopteken of enige ander plek gestop word:
• kontroleer die drie spieëls,

• rem deur slegs die rempedaal te gebruik – net voordat jou voertuig tot stilstand
kom mag jy die koppelaar gebruik.
Maak seker dat, as daar ’n ander voertuig voor jou is, jy nie nader as drie meter van dié
voertuig af stop nie (skoon ruimte).
Nadat gestop is:

53
English
• Turn to the LEFT and remember to check the blind spot to the LEFT as the last
action before turning – remember pedestrian always have right of way
over vehicles.
Slipways
Turning LEFT at a slipway
When turning LEFT at a slipway:

• Blind spot to the LEFT.
• Gear down to second gear.
• Check the LEFT blind spot again.
• Turn into the slipway.
Coming out of the slipway make sure that there are no oncoming traffic before you move
into another lane. If there are; stop, do the necessary observations (like at a stop sign) and
if it is safe to do so, drive further.
Traffic circles
What to do at a mini circle
A mini circle is treated like a four way stop, and you must yield to other vehicles inside the
circle.
Circle observations when driving straight through

• Slow down.
• Look RIGHT and LEFT for oncoming traffic.
• If it is safe, continue moving through the circle.
If there is another vehicle inside the circle, stop behind the yield road marking and treat it
as a four way stop sign with the necessary observation, like we discussed before, before
moving on.
54
Afrikaans
• Draai nou LINKS en onthou om in jou blindekol LINKS te kyk as die laaste aksie
voordat jy begin draai – onthou voetgangers kry voorrang bo voertuie.
Glipweë
LINKSdraai by ’n glipweg

• Die blindekol na LINKS.
• Sein na LINKS.
• Skakel die rathefboom in tweede rat.
• Kyk weer in die blindekol na LINKS.
• Draai nou weg in die glipweg in.
Sodra jy uit die glipweg uitkom, maak seker dat daar geen aankomende verkeer is voordat
jy in ’n ander laan inbeweeg. As daar verkeer is; stop, doen die nodige observasies (soos
by ’n stopteken) en as dit veilig is, ry dan verder.
Verkeersirkels
Wat om te doen by ’n mini-sirkel
’n Mini-sirkel moet soos ’n vierrigting stop hanteer word, en jy moet ryvoorrang toelaat aan
ander voertuie wat reeds binne die sirkel is.
Sirkelobservasies wanneer jy reguit aanry

• Verminder spoed.
• Kyk REGS en LINKS vir aankomende verkeer.
• Wanneer dit veilig is, hou aan beweeg en ry om die sirkel en dan reguit aan.
As daar ’n ander voertuig binne die sirkel is, stop agter die toegee padmerke en behandel
die sirkel soos ’n vierrigtingstopteken met die nodige observasie, soos vantevore bespreek
en beweeg verder.
55
English
Turning at a mini circle
As you approach the mini circle:

• The blind spot in the direction you are turning into.
• Indicate in the direction you are turning into.
• Check RIGHT and LEFT before moving into the circle.
• Finally, check the blind spot in the direction you are turning into, before turning.
