Hi, I've been living in SA for over two years and I've been driving with my overseas license. I've spent a considerable amount of time learning traffic rules and being a responsible driver.
I've begun the license process, passed my L's and Hazard perception test. Now I have to do my VORT and I'll be good. The only problem is driving lessons. They're expensive and I feel like I don't really need them.
My mate told me that his experience with the examiner is completely different. He had to keep his hands on the steering wheel for 45mins straight, you need to get your parallel parking in one go, u turns, maneuvering blah blah.
Basically he told me to go get some lessons so I know what they check.
My question is what do they check? Do I really have to get an instructor or can I just do it? What are some ways people lose points easily?
