K53 Motorcycle Driving License Test (South Africa)

[@cam_by_art]

howzit gents, just remember to only use your front break for stopping during the test except for the emergency brake, just failed my test because I used my back and front break for the swerve on a rainy day and my bike slid out from under me Goodluck everyone, practice hard I believe in you.

[@charliesadv8493]

Sorry to hear about the fail. Hope you bike is not to damaged. All the best for next time

[@cam_by_art]

@@charliesadv8493 awe thank you, bikes not too damaged thankfully but my clutch handle is bent down a bit more now, I'm booking again atm so hopefully I'll get it next time

[@charliesadv8493]

@@cam_by_art Just don't try to bend it back. It will break. Where did you go for the test?

[@sadafaslam8178]

Are you only supposed to use the front break to slow down or something?

[@Melusiram]

Very helpful and illustrative. It should be easy to pass my test👍🏿

[@kennedypindura]

I am testing tomorrow at noon 🙃...I've got this.

[@charliesadv8493]

Let me know how it went. Good luck

@charliesadv8493 yes Sir yes Sir i think will be starting my adventures soon i like traveling 😀

[@EdwinMaboa97]

Can I use my 150 cc or 150 velocity big boy for testing without involving the middle man which is a driving school, since I know how to ride🤔

[@rustytanks]

Your video helped me pass today, but I must add the test is not easy, most of all keeping the 20km/h speed limit, I was sweating under the helmet 😅

[@charliesadv8493]

Happy to know my video helps. Yes, I'm glad I don't have to do this test even again. I got my license in May 1999

[@SoloVentureExplorer]

Hi Charlie, very nice video. I have been training by myself for couple of weeks. Im testing tomorrow, your video gave me some confidence. If i don't feel ready, I'll not test and boom again. 😅 Thanks for this. Very informative

[@johanvandersandt8904]

Did you pass? 😁

[@cornestander3877]

i dont know why someone would dislike this video but i am not too afraid of going for learners and then license now. Thank you :)

Dankie vir die kommentaar Corné

This video has given me confidence, thanks a lot.

I'm happy to know my video helped. Good luck

[@karimjameel]

Thanks for the video dude, very detailed and informative i just passed my test on Monday, but just so people know, its definitely not the same everywhere, so the must check other K53 videos to get an idea of the differences, but otherwise helmet mounted cameras are the way to go to know exactly what needs to be done

[@charliesadv8493]

Congrats on your pass

How did you find a slot

Very good this👏👏

[@charliesadv8493]

Glad you think so!

[@SAStrider]

Not sure how you passed this test with that rollback at the stop.

[@Pi3ti3]

Hi @Charlie's ADV, May you advise if the Pre-trip applies to current date's as changes might have been made to the informations.

[@charliesadv8493]

I'm sure pre-trip is still the same, but will find out for you

[@charliesadv8493]

Peter, just confirmed. Still the same

[@zvikomborerodzikiti2340]

Do you have to do a written test before you do the riding test for learners license

[@charliesadv8493]

Hi. Yes, the learners license is done either on computers, or some licensing offices still do written tests

[@zvikomborerodzikiti2340]

@@charliesadv8493 ok thank you

[@charliesadv8493]

And if you need to practice for learners test, there are numerous mock test available online. Just google K53 mock tests. You should find a few sites

[@ms.nthaby_m]

Hi, your video was very informative,I also want know Can I test with a automatic transmission bike?

[@charliesadv8493]

Hi. To be honest, I'm not quite sure, but I will try and find out if there will be restrictions on your license.

[@pakowame4737]

Yes you are allowed to test with automatic transmission bike or car but you will be restricted to operate such motor only and it will be endorsed in your license. So if you wish to operate have any motor of any type of transmission you need to be tested in manual transmission. This information might be late for you but hopefully would lighten others.

[@Clear_Sky_Travel]

Thanks for this. can you please recommend driving school around Pretoria and where can i book for test becuase many don't test for motorcycles?

[@charliesadv8493]

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I don't know any Pretoria Driving School. I will try and find out, and if I do get 1, I will reply to your comment again

Hi, Do I have to do a Motorcycle licence in order for me to ride a motorcycle legally or it okay for me to use my Code B licence?

[@charliesadv8493]

You have to obtain Code 1 learners for motorcycle and then Code A for motorcycle of any size, or A1 for 0 - 125cc driving license. Not permitted to ride motorcycle with your Code B DL. If you want to obtain Code A DL, you need to do the test with motorcycle with CC bigger than 125cc, such as a 150cc

[@dean_ferguson2825]

Are they strict about your foot placemat. If you on a flat ground must you have rear break on or must you have two feet on the ground (if the surface is flat)

[@cornestander3877]

I think feet can only go down when stopping, i wouldnt put them down otherwise, especially for the turning tests.

[@wernersunkel]

What do I do if i dont have a bike but booked a test for this month? I can ride, i ride off road bikes but dont have a road bike to do the test on

[@charliesadv8493]

Hi Werner. The option to rent a bike is there. Chené offers that service

[@foolishyish]

Is this all still valid? No changes or addition made to the test?

[@charliesadv8493]

Hi Nabeel. Yes, it is still the same

[@NozBetter]

heyy wanted to know i am almost 16 and i know 125cc is max but i have a 150 will i be able to still do the test and do you use the places driving schools bikes)

[@charliesadv8493]

I will try and find out, but I'm almost surr you can only use up to 125cc for your age, and won't be able to use your 150cc for the test, and you are not legally permitted to ride your 150cc. Pity you can't wait until you're 18 and get you code A, instead of doing your A1 now and later A.

[@jouberthuman7133]

I just went to make an appointment for my bike licence and they told me they couldn't because they don't have the equipment and another person said the machine is broken. What equipment and machine are they talking of?

[@charliesadv8493]

Hi Joubert. Daar is 'n tipe rekenaar/masjien wat ook deel van toets uitmaak, wat jou spoed meet met sekere bewegings, asook met die turn management. Jy sal sien in die video verwys ek na ligte op 'n stander wat aangaan met die nood swenk en stop. Dis die toerusting wat hulle van praat. Watter omgewing is jy?

[@jouberthuman7133]

@@charliesadv8493 ek bly in Pietersburg, blykbaar kan ons lisensie kantoor dit nie doen nie, maar die kantoor wat ek van praat was in Potgietersrus.

[@charliesadv8493]

Selfs hier waar ek bly aan die Oos Rand, is dit ook nie alle stasies wat motorfiets toetse doen nie. My video was in Kempton Park gedoen. Een van die beter toetsstasies hier in Ekurhuleni

[@jouberthuman7133]

@@charliesadv8493 ek gaan nou môre in ander plekke gaan kyk. Dit was net frustrerend dat ek vir 2 ure in 'n tou gestaan het waar almal vir my sê hulle doen motorfiets lisensie en toe ek by die laaste persoon wat die booking moet doen kom sê sy vir my nee hulle goed werk nie

[@charliesadv8493]

Ek stem. Hulle gebruik empatie as hulle met publiek werk nie. Wonder hoe hulle sal voel as die skoen aan die ander voet is. Sterkte met die proses Joubert. Laat weet hoe dinge afgeloop het en of jy jou lisensie verwerf het

[@S4YREAP3R-13]

Is there a time limit , like do you need to complete it as fast as possible before the timer runs out ? I'm curious though cuz I just got my learners license a couple days ago , currently using my uncle's bigboy scooter for training

Hello John. You have to complete in 20 mins. That is plenty of time.

Carte Blanche must tell us IF THEY GOT VALID SOUTH AFRICAN K53 DRIVER'S LICENCES for riding these motor bikes.

[@charliesadv8493]

Who are you referring to?

[@abdurahmaanlakhi8563]

What if your legs don’t reach the ground

[@charliesadv8493]

Then I guess the bike is not suited for your drivers test. Consider something with lower seat height, i.e like a cruiser. A friend of mine went for his license on a Yamaha XVS650, which is a nice low seated bike

[@ZAMavrick]

Were is this

[@charliesadv8493]

This is at Kempton Park Testing Station, Gauteng

[@goodasnewappliancesrepair285]

The worst bike School by Far. Unprofessional, Discriminatory. Would never go back there, ever again.
