Law enforcement, not speed reduction, will reduce road carnage

http://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/582/69466.html#

Better law enforcement is essential to reduce the high number of road accidents in South Africa. This article discusses the need for zero tolerance towards drivers who commit moving violations and that there should be enforceable penalties for motorists who drive unroadworthy or unlicensed vehicles, are unlicensed drivers or drive under the influence of alcohol. Safety whilst driving begins with your K53 learners; at SALearnersLicense.co.za we promote safe and defensive driving.

K53 Test - My Learners License

Once you have applied for your K53 test and been given a date for your learners test, purchase a K53 manual and start studying immediately. The K53 test will be either a written or computer test which takes approximately one hour to complete. You will be questioned on the rules of the road, road signs and markings, and vehicle controls.

K53 Test - Rules of the Road

The rules of the road ensure a smooth flow of traffic and stipulate rules such as:

• driving on the left
• right of way
• driving signals
• overtaking
• speed limits
• parking

K53 Test - Road Signs, Signals and Markings

Roadside signs, traffic signals and road surface markings are there to regulate traffic flow. They provide all the necessary information to road users, warn of any hazardous conditions and give direction indicators of routes and destinations.

 These can be:

●      mounted on a pole on the side of the road
●      mounted on an overhead structure
●      painted on the road surface
●      signals given by lights or people

The different signs include:

• regulatory signs
• warning signs
• guidance signs
• temporary
• road markings

K53 Test – Vehicle Controls

For this section of the K53 test you will need to know the correct name and function of the various vehicle controls, such as the mirrors, clutch, accelerator and brake pedal, gear lever and indicator stalk.

It is a good idea to practice for your K53 test learners license by completing past tests so that you are well prepared and familiar with the rules of the road, know how to react when you see road signs, signals and markings  and the purpose and names of the vehicle controls.

Learners License Skills: Pass Your K53 Leaners

A driver about to make a right turn, according to the traffic rules  of South Africa,  must signal that they are about to do so, but only when they are in the proper lane.. In addition before making the turn, drivers are obliged to follow all the traffic signs and signals of the junction.  Before actually making the turn drivers must ensure that they have given right of way to pedestrians, emergency vehicles or any other vehicles that are currently situated on the intersection.

The right turn law is a major constituent of South Africa’s road traffic laws, and questions regarding them are liable to come up during a  LearnersLicense exam.
