New digital learner's licence test introduced in Western Cape
The Western Cape mobility department on Monday launched a computerised learner's licence testing (CLLT) system at the Beaufort West driving licence testing centre (DLTC.) A live demonstration of the new testing system, which replaces the traditional manual booklet method, was held. The innovation is being rolled out in partnership with the Road Traffic Management Corporation and aims to improve the quality of drivers on Western Cape roads. Benefits include: promoting safer and more responsible driving through standardised testing; reducing opportunities for corruption; supporting hearing-impaired applicants with on-screen multilingual instructions to eliminate the need for an interpreter; and delivering faster, more accurate results through instant digital processing. It is set to transform the learner's licence testing process across the Western Cape, and follows other regions that have adopted the shift to digital testing. The testing terminals, each secured with fingerprint verification, connect directly to the National Traffic Information System and generate randomised test questions. Results are automatically verified and securely processed, which improves accuracy and data integrity. The CLLT classroom includes fully networked work stations, touchscreen kiosks and a 6kVA uninterrupted power supply to maintain continuity during electricity outages. All provincial driving licence testing centres outside the metro have been equipped with the new CLLT system, with the Western Cape mobility department engaging the City of Cape Town regarding its rollout of the system. All provinces have rolled out the system, but not all stations have adopted it yet. 'If we are to grow our economy and create more jobs, we need to ensure our residents have the skills they need to participate in the economy,' said Western Cape mobility MEC Isaac Sileku. 'A driver's licence is a critical requirement for many jobs, so we must make getting one as easy as possible for all our residents. The digital shift is a big step towards safer roads and a stronger economy. This is not only a technological upgrade, it's a values-driven transformation. 'The system ensures every applicant, regardless of ability, is treated with fairness and dignity,' said Sileku.

Western Cape launches new digital learner's licence testing system
A digital learner's licence testing system has officially arrived in the Western Cape, with the Beaufort West Driving Licence Testing Centre becoming the first place to launch the province's new Computerised Learner's Licence Testing (CLLT) system. As reported by Cape Town Etc , the CLLT system was launched on Monday, 26 May, and is aimed at cutting long waiting times, reducing corruption and making roads safer. Well, according to reports, the new system swaps out paper-based testing with a reliable touchscreen interface that instantly scores applicants and is linked to the National Traffic Information System (NaTIS). The Computerised Learner's Licence Testing system also uses biometric logins and randomised questions to ensure that every test is tamper-proof. The system also provides on-screen support in multiple languages, including assistance for the hearing-impaired, and a backup power supply that keeps the system online during load shedding. 'This isn't just about easier testing. It's about improving road safety, promoting equality, and empowering people to drive their futures forward.'
