SA Learner's Theory Test case studies
SA Learner's Theory Test · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The learner's licence is the first step towards a driving licence in the Western Cape, and it is issued according to the type of vehicle you intend to drive, from Code A1 for small motorcycles up to Code EC for heavy articulated vehicles. Each code carries its own minimum age and vehicle limits, so candidates should choose the code matching their intended vehicle before applying. All tests are conducted through the Computerised Learners Licence Testing (CLLT) system, and you book by visiting your nearest Driving Licence Testing Centre, submitting your documents, completing the LL1 form and paying the test fee. The test draws on three study areas: rules of the road, road markings and road signs, and controls of a vehicle. The SA Learner's Theory Test case studies are 5 cases and about 2,576 words.
