RSA Driving Test - Their Own Rules Of The Road

[louie]

A very good friend of mine failed the driving test recently due to the following reasons:

1. Failure to STOP at an YIELD sign
2. Failure to know that the filter traffic light has a sensor fitted which will detect the cars stopped in the middle of the junction…

I found this ridiculous, therefore a complaint has been made to the RSA Office....

Failure to know that the filter traffic light has a sensor fitted which will detect the cars stopped in the middle of the junction…

If these do exist (which I didn't know about) then they don't work very well from what I see.

The driving test and road laws in the Republic are a complete joke. Sometimes makes me wonder about the muppets behind it.

It's all business and money trains - the customers are totally ignored

Have a look at the passing rates - it's all a joke alright...

Unforunately a driving test is a subjective opinion, it does come down to to one persons opinion of anothers actions, very hard to get right.
