Before paying money to someone claiming to be a driving instructor, members of the public are advised to check to see if they have a valid instructor’s certificate!<\/p>\n

N.B.<\/p>\n

If your driving instructor is busy renewing his or her instructor’s certificate, provided they applied prior to the expiry date, according to Regulation 250 from the Road Traffic Act\u00a01989 (ACT NO. 29 OF 1989) paragraph (16) it will still be valid. See:<\/p>\n

The current process to be followed is as follows (sections 114A to 114Q\u00a0 that deals with the registration of instructors are not yet in force, therefore regulation 250 of the Road Traffic Act of 1989 still applies):<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n

  2. Application shall be made in respect of one or more of the classes of motor vehicles \u2013 for learner\u2019s and driving licences, or \u00a0only learner\u2019s licences, or only driving licences;<\/li>\n

  5. Applicant has to be medically examined at applicant\u2019s cost;<\/li>\n
  6. The application form, medical report and the Police clearance will be submitted to the Province;<\/li>\n

    Driving school instructors have the important task of training vehicle road users. This is why all instructors must be registered with the provincial Department of Transport and Public Works<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    It\u2019s unlawful to train road users without an instructor’s certificate. \u00a0While there are many instructors operating without a certificate, you can ask to see their certificate before you start lessons. It is actually fraud.<\/p>\n

    Definition of fraud:<\/p>\n

    Fraud<\/b>\u00a0is\u00a0defined in South African<\/b>\u00a0law as \u201cthe unlawful and intentional making of a misrepresentation which causes actual and or potential prejudice to another\u201d. Corruption is\u00a0defined<\/b>\u00a0as \u201cthe misuse of entrusted power for private gain\u201d.<\/p>\n
