How does it all work? (applicable to Code 8 light motor vehicle)

​

Cancel or reschedule at least 12 hours in advance online or via WhatsApp, else lesson will be forfeited.

​

Lesson packages are valid for 2 months only. 

​Lessons are an hour long and start when you are picked up and end when dropped off.

Valid learner license is needed before lessons can start and need to be present during lessons (not a copy or a picture) 

The driving school car(s) are manual.

You can also do lessons in your own vehicle be that a manual or automatic.  Your vehicle need to be roadworthy for lessons and will be inspected before your driving  test.

​

For your driving lessons with the driving school car you will be taken to a more quiet area to start off with, even if you are experienced, to get use to the car.  

If you are a beginner your driving lessons will continue  in the quiet area until you have gained sufficient experience to be exposed to some traffic.

You may do your lessons barefoot but try to keep your practice consistent with whatever footwear you use to make the most of each session.

There are different disciplines that you need to master in your driving lessons that are needed to be safe and obviously before one can pass a driving test.  (Mock tests will be done to prepare you for your test.) 

​

​The lessons will guide you to be as close to driving 'normally' as you can get and still pass your test,  so make the most of each lesson.  Come mentally prepared and if you have been given homework please do it.

Please make contact first so there can be a discussion around your expectations since there are limited booking space.

​

There are hundreds of students / scholars at any given point in time in Stellenbosch who has the same goal in mind - to get their licenses.

Therefore communication and commitment for the lessons are very important. 

​

​With regard to how many lessons you may need, 

​​

•  5 Lessons - A totally independent driver who can get into any car and start driving with confidence in traffic after taking a few minutes to get use to the clutch and car controls.  Such a person only need to learn the K53 for the test.  

​

•  12-18 lessons -    A total beginner, it depends entirely on how fast you learn and how confident and independent you can drive.

​

If your experience is  in between these two extremes above, your lessons needed may also be in between these but realize that you will always have to be able to pass a mock test before you can pass a real test.

​​The key is to be consistent with your practice.  

​​

You will be paced towards a test so when given the go ahead you will have to book your test to make the most of your lessons.
