Licensing testing consists of three components:
The first is theory. This is a written examination and is also being conducted using computers.
The second is practical driving tests. Applicants can be tested using either manual or automatic vehicles. An applicant that passes a road test using a manual vehicle can drive both manual and automatic vehicles. However, an applicant who passes a road test using an automatic vehicle is restricted to driving automatic vehicles only and the licence is endorsed “Automatic Vehicles (AT)”.
The third is the vision test. This encompasses a medical examination that checks the applicant’s eyesight and visual ability.

Why are we still having a driving retest yet we are also required to undergo medical test and the license expires it's costly
It's a money making strategy at the end of the day
Why divide motorcycles....
Why divide mini buses....
Why divide trucks.....
Why divide buses....
So how many licenses will you need. So if I get a different vehicle 🚜🚑 then add another class 🤮🤑
Do we have to change everything to suit other countries? Do other countries change their systems to suit Zimbabwe? I don't think so. Anyway, I feel it is too expensive to keep changing things. Who pays? And a non commercial ordinary licence expiring why? It's too expensive for this country and people. Let's consider our situation, economy etc.
When will you put the passport price down?
Yes that's my question aswell isn't we're supposed to suit some countries.
In my thinking this must apply to those who are starting. Those with license must just apply for new and for free and given a license suit their class in which they hold.
All nonsense to put money in the pockets of the rich corrupt politicians. Nxa
Create work not source for you to get money for overseas trips

And the provisional certificate that we took for manual cars?
Is it going to expire for new changes before the expiry dates?
