Transport minister Barbara Creecy has said that her department is working on digitising the application and examination of driver’s licence tests.
The Road Traffic Management Corporation is digitising driving licence tests to prevent fraudulent examinations.
According to the minister, the digitised test will use geofencing and biometric identification for both applicants and examiners.Creecy said this new system will be piloted within this financial year, after which it will be rolled out nationally. It will also be integrated with the South African Police Services database so applicants can be cleared for professional driving permits.
The RTMC is also busy fully deploying Computerised Learner’s Licence Tests , which have been rolled out in seven provinces. In addition, the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse urged the DoT to investigate the bidding process followingOuta CEO Wayne Duvenage said, “the driving licence card account was doing everything in its power to wear down and whittle out people in whichever way they could.”
In the final phase, the adjudication panel reviews each bidder’s cost proposals, which should have been concealed until this point in the process.
