legal age for learners license in south africa
Driving licence in South Africa The minimum age for a Code 1 or 2 licence is 17, and for a Code 3 licence it is 18. At the age of 16 a Code 1 licence limited to motorcycles with engine capacity under 125Â cc may be obtained. Learner's licences are valid for 24 months, and, except for Code 1 licences, require that the learner be accompanied by a fully licensed driver.[2] It is not compulsory for a learner driver to have a big red "L" on the rear window, but it is recommended so that other drivers can have patience with the driver.
Learner's permit In order for a minor to receive a learner's permit, sometimes called an instructional permit,[20] states typically require that the minor have at least 6 practice hours before getting the permit and signed permission from a parent or guardian.[21] In the state of New Hampshire, a permit is not given but the young driver may begin to drive with a parent or guardian, or an adult 25 years of age, at the age of 15 and a half.[22]
