Computerised learner’s licence testing and online eye tests for driver’s licences will be among a raft of hi-tech measures to improve service delivery to motorists, transport minister Fikile Mbalula has announced

Speaking at the release of the festive season road fatality statistics at Grasmere toll plaza on Tuesday, Mbalula said these measures, to be introduced from February, would be game changers in improving the driving licence regime, allowing motorists to access services in the comfort of their homes.

“Through the RTMC, we are augmenting the capacity of Driving Licence Testing Centres and will be launching online services in February 2022 to improve service delivery and minimise the need for a motorist to visit a DLTC a number of times,” said Mbalula. New Road Traffic Management Corporation Regulations published on January 14 2022 introduce online services to the public for booking for learner’s licence tests, renewal of driving licences, motor vehicle registration and licensing, as well as online vehicle licence renewals. The latter, expected to be introduced next month, will enable the 2.4-million motorists renewing vehicle licence discs annually to avoid queues, fines and penalties for late renewal.

Mbalula also recently confirmed that the government is considering a new smart driver licence card, which was still awaiting cabinet approval.
