Ensure You Meet All Eligibility Requirements

Before scheduling your driving test, confirm that you meet all RSA eligibility criteria:

  • Valid Learner Permit: Ensure your learner permit is current and valid for the category of vehicle you intend to drive. You must hold your learner permit for at least six months before the test date.

  • Completed Mandatory Lessons: Complete the required 12 hours of Essential Driver Training (EDT) with a registered driving instructor. Ensure that your instructor has signed off on all lessons in your logbook.

  • Practice Hours: It is recommended to have completed at least 50 hours of driving practice, including both daytime and night-time driving, with a fully qualified driver.

  • Are automatic driving lessons easier than manual?
    Many learners find automatic driving lessons easier as they eliminate the need for gear changes and clutch control, allowing you to focus more on road awareness and safe driving.
  • Can I switch from manual to automatic lessons?
    Yes, if you find manual driving challenging or simply prefer the ease of automatic, you can switch at any time. Just let us know, and we'll arrange your lessons accordingly.
