The car theory is formulated and geared towards the CBR exam requirements. To give you an idea, the precise CBR requirements and categories from which the CBR formulates its exams are given below.
The theory exam section contains a total of forty questions, thirty about traffic regulations and ten about traffic insight. You need to have 35 of these forty correct. In this section you may thus answer five questions incorrectly. For hazard recognition you have 25 questions of which you must answer 13 or more correctly. This means you may answer twelve questions incorrectly.
You can take your theory exam from 16 years. You can take driving lessons from age 16 and a half. And you can take your practical exam from your 17th birthday. Nothing special so far. But what if you pass before you are 18? You can already start driving, but until your 18th birthday, you’ll need to have a coach next to you. Such as your father or mother but you will need a coach ID for this.
