With South Africa's roads claiming around 12,000 lives annually, calls are being made to reassess the K53 driving licence test. IOL asked three driving experts to weigh in on the matter.

Road safety advocate Rob Handfield-Jones argues that South Africa should reform the K53 system to better reflect real-world driving conditions, rather than abandoning it entirely.

• 20 000 Grade 11 learners have been trained on the K53 Driver Instructor Programme and about 2 000 were tested for learner licenses.
