Frequently Asked Questions About Pietermaritzburg Driving Schools
Get answers to common questions about driving lessons, costs, and safety in Pietermaritzburg.
How many driving lessons do I need in Pietermaritzburg before taking my test?
Most learners in Pietermaritzburg need between 12-20 lessons before they're ready for the driving test. This varies based on your prior experience, how quickly you learn, and how often you practice. Be wary of Pietermaritzburg driving schools that promise you'll pass with very few lessons.
What should I look for in a Pietermaritzburg driving instructor's certificate?
A valid instructor certificate in Pietermaritzburg should be issued by the Department of Transport, display the instructor's photo and ID number, show which vehicle codes they can teach (e.g., Code 8 for light vehicles), and have a current expiry date. Take a photo of it for your records.
How much should I pay upfront for driving lessons in Pietermaritzburg?
When booking with a Pietermaritzburg driving school, never pay for more than 5-10 lessons at a time. For your first payment, only pay for 1-2 lessons (R300-R600 maximum) until you've verified the school is legitimate and you're happy with the instruction quality.
What's the difference between manual and automatic lessons in Pietermaritzburg?
In Pietermaritzburg, automatic lessons are typically R50-R100 more per hour than manual. If you pass your test in an automatic vehicle, your licence will be restricted to automatic vehicles only. Manual licences allow you to drive both manual and automatic vehicles.
How do I report a scam driving school in Pietermaritzburg?
If you've been scammed by a Pietermaritzburg driving school, report to: Small Claims Court (for amounts under R20,000), Police (open a fraud case), Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (0860 000 272), or the RTMC Anti-Corruption Hotline (0800 701 701). Keep all receipts, messages, and payment proof as evidence.
Should I pay someone in Pietermaritzburg to guarantee I pass my driving test?
No. Any Pietermaritzburg driving school or individual offering to "guarantee" you pass or to "sort out" your test is running a bribery scheme. This is illegal and puts you at legal risk. Many people pass legitimately at Pietermaritzburg testing centres with proper training - focus on becoming a competent driver rather than paying for shortcuts.
Not Sure Which Licence Code You Need?
Learn about Code A (motorcycles), Code B (light vehicles), Code C1 (trucks), and all other South African driving licence codes.
