Woman whose never been behind a steering wheel has a driver’s licence which she bought for R3500
In a shocking revelation, a resident of the Sunday’s River Valley in the Eastern Cape has managed to obtain both her learner’s and driver’s licenses without ever having driven a vehicle before.
According to reports, the woman allegedly paid a sum of R3,500 to obtain these licenses, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the licensing system.
The incident came to light during a court hearing at the Gqeberha high court, where the woman’s case was being heard.
It is unclear how she managed to bypass the necessary driving tests and requirements to obtain her licenses, but it is suspected that corruption and bribery might have played a role.
This revelation has sparked outrage among the local community and raised questions about the effectiveness of the licensing system in South Africa.
Obtaining a driver’s license is a crucial step towards ensuring road safety, and it is alarming to think that someone without any driving experience could obtain one through illicit means.
Road accidents are a major concern in South Africa, with thousands of lives lost every year due to reckless driving and lack of adherence to traffic rules.
The licensing system is meant to ensure that only competent drivers are allowed on the roads, but incidents like this undermine public trust in the system.
