Booking Your Learner's Licence in KwaZulu-Natal (eThekwini & Provincial DLTCs)
In KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), learner's licence bookings are processed primarily through in-person walk-in applications at eThekwini Metro and KZN Department of Transport RTI/DLTC testing stations, with selected centres also linked to the national eNaTIS portal. Because stations like Rossburgh (Durban Central), Pinetown, and Mkondeni (Pietermaritzburg) experience high morning demand, arriving between 07:00 and 07:30 with your completed Form LL1 Application is essential.

Top 3 DLTC Exam Questions Tested at KZN Centres
Question 1: Triple-Hurdle Pass Marks on the 64-Question Exam
If a candidate scores 27/28 on Rules of the Road, 27/28 on Road Signs, and 5/8 on Vehicle Controls, what is the official DLTC exam result?
- A) Pass, because the total score is 59/64 (92%).
- B) Fail, because you must achieve at least 6/8 (75%) on Vehicle Controls in addition to passing Rules (22/28) and Signs (23/28).
- C) Conditional pass requiring an oral retest on controls only.
- D) Pass for Code 2 only.
Correct Answer: B. The South African DLTC exam enforces a strict triple-hurdle rule: failing any single section (even by 1 mark on the 8-question Vehicle Controls section) results in an automatic fail of the entire test.
Question 2: Overtaking on the Left-Hand Side
Under which circumstance may you legally overtake another vehicle on its left-hand side in South Africa?

- D) While approaching the crest of a hill or blind rise.
