The K53 Random Test Generator is used to test, study and prepare you for your theoretical learner's
license test. The program includes light motor vehicles, heavy vehicles as well as motorcycle theory.
T he test is designed to generate a random test each time, therefore there will not be two generated
tests that 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.
You can install the software on a PC or Mac. Please note that you can not install this software on a home
DVD player and only on a PC or Mac. a Common error that users do make is to insert the disk into their
DVD players for the Random Test Generator. Also please note that some Windows machines
automatically open video files upon inserting a disk into the PC's DVD player. Close the media player
application and proceed with the following steps. Installation: To install the program do the following:

1. Place the DVD into the DVD-ROM of your PC or Mac.

2. Should the media player open automatically please close it and browse to the DVD contents.
3. There will be four folders which only the first two are relevant for the e-book and the self
learning software:
3.1 K53 Learners and Drivers PDF e-booklet.
3.2 K53 Self Learning Software for Learners license
3.3 Audio _TS
3.4 Video _TS
4. Double click the folder which you would like to access.
4.1 The e-book is a normal PDF that can be viewed on your PC or printed.
4.2 In the self learning software folder you will find a file named winmac software. Jar. Double
click the folder to install and follow the instructions on the screen.
5. Most PC’s comes with Java already installed , but please make sure that you do have
Java installed on your computer. If not please go to www.java.com and install it. Otherwise you
will not be able to install the K53 Software as explained in the PDF of the Learner’s Book.
additional info:
6. 6.1 If you do have a Windows PC and the software does not want to install , please de- activate
your anti-virus program for the installation. Then re-activate it again after installation.
6.2 If you do have a apple Mac. Please follow these steps:
7. To override your security settings and open the app anyway:

PROLOGUE
The aim with this DVD is primarily to acquaint the holder of a learner's license, 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 license 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.

 Bestuurders Lisensie

VOORWOORD
Die doel met hierdie DVD is hoofsaaklik om die houer van 'n leerlinglisensie vertroud le
maak met wat hy/sy in staat moet kan wees om le 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 die 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
buitespieel 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 ruitveer 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
lisensiesky1nommer wat op die windskerm vasgeplak is.

29
VERKEERSLIGTE

STOP EN REGUIT AANRY

Voordat by 'n stopteken of enige ander plek gestop word:

Kontroleer jou drie spieels.

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 die
voertuig af stop nie - dit is die "skoon ruimte".

Nadat gestop is:

Aktiveer die noodrem.

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:
Skakel die rathefboom in eerste rat.
Doen die vyfpunt observasie.
Wag vir die groen lig.
Verkry koppelaarbeheer.
Deaktiveer die noodrem.
Trek stadig weg.
Kyk regs en links voor jy die kruising binnegaan.

LINKS- EN REGSDRAAI BY 'N VERKEERSLIG

REGSdraai

As jy beoog om regs te draai, doen die volgende:

Kontroleer die drie spieels.

Die blindekol na REGS.
Sein na REGS.
Kontroleer jou drie spieels en bring die voertuig tot algehele stilstand deur eers
die rempedaal en dan die koppelaarpedaal te gebruik.

Net voordat by 'n stopteken of enige ander plek gestop word:

Kontroleer die drie spieels.

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 jou volg afstand ten minste drie
meter van daardie voertuig af hou.

51
Turning at a mini circle

As you approach the mini circle:

Check your three mirrors.

The blind spot in the direction you are turning into.
Indicate in the direction you are turning into.
Gear down to second gear.
Check RIGHT and LEFT before moving into the circle.
Finally, check the blind spot in the direction you are turning into, before turning.

Draai by 'n mini-sirkel

By die nadering van die mini-sirkel:

Kontroleer die drie spieels.

Die blindekol in die rigting waarin jy gaan draai.
Sein in die rigting waarin jy gaan draai.
Skakel die rathefboom in tweede rat.
Kontroleer REGS en LINKS voordat jy die sirkel binnegaan.
Ten slotte, kyk in die blindekol in die rigting waarheen jy draai, voordat jy begin
draai.
