Noting the confusion around the opening of licence and testing facilities after the announcement that automobile dealers were allowed to open their doors again from Wednesday May 13, transport minister Fikile Mbalula said that under level four of the lockdown, driving schools are permitted to operate and have been doing so since May 1.
“The criteria for operations to resume include deep sanitisation of the centres, adequate social distancing mechanisms and the procurement of sufficient personal protective equipment for staff,” says Mbalula. Mbalula says a 30-day leeway is provided for those whose learner’s licences, driving licences and/or licence disks have expired.
