Questions people ask

90 days of full access to the Kerbtest app: timed mock tests in the format of the computerised learner's test, practice by topic, wording drills, a weak-areas queue, and a progress page. Every answer has a plain explanation and its legal source.

No. R99 is a once-off payment. There is no subscription and no debit order, and nothing is charged again. When your 90 days end, access stops. If you want more time, you can choose to buy another 90 days.

On the day you pay. Your end date is shown in the app.

You can no longer start tests or practice. We keep your progress for 12 months in case you come back, then delete it. You can delete it sooner yourself with the Reset my progress button, which works even after access ends.

Yes, in these cases:

• Within 7 days of paying, if you have done fewer than 2 mock tests: a full refund, no questions asked.
• If something does not work as described and we cannot fix it within 5 working days: a full refund.
• If you paid twice by mistake: the extra payment back in full.

About the law: the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA) gives a 7-day cooling-off period for online purchases (section 44). Section 42(2)(d) says that right may not apply to services that began with your consent before the 7 days ended, which is what happens when you start practising straight away. We would rather not lean on that, so our 7-day promise above applies anyway, as long as you have done fewer than 2 mock tests. Your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, including for a service that is not as described, are not affected. Full details are on the returns and refunds page. Email support@kerbtest.co.za with your order number.

By card, through Paystack. We never see or store your card number.

Yes. At checkout, type the email address of the person who will practise, and pay with your own card. They sign in with a link sent to their email. If you used the wrong email, email support@kerbtest.co.za and we move the access.

Kerbtest runs in a web browser, so there is nothing to install and no app store needed. It is built to work in an up-to-date browser on Android phones and iPhones, including cheaper phones, as well as tablets and computers. If it does not work on your phone, email us with the phone model and we will look into it (and refund you if we cannot fix it).

Not much: the pages are mostly text, road signs are small drawings rather than photos, and there is no video. We have not published a measured figure per test yet. Wi-Fi is never required.

English only, for now. The official test is available in all 11 official languages (City of Cape Town). We will add other languages only when a person who speaks the language well has translated and checked the questions, because a badly translated road law question does more harm than good.

No to both. Our questions are original, written from the National Road Traffic Act, the Regulations and the Road Traffic Signs Manual. They are not the official questions, and nobody can honestly promise you a pass. What Kerbtest does is let you practise the same three sections against the same pass marks, in a timed, one-question-per-screen format, and explain every answer.

No. Kerbtest is a product of Softnamic (Pty) Ltd and is not affiliated with the RTMC, the Department of Transport or any driving licence testing centre. You still book and do your test through your DLTC or online.natis.gov.za.
