Questions you can trust

We write every question ourselves and check it against the National Road Traffic Act and the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2000. Where a sign’s meaning isn’t in the published law, we check it against the Department of Transport’s own guides. If something looks wrong, tap “Report a mistake” under the explanation. See sample questions to judge for yourself.

Questions people ask

Is the K53 Simulator app free?

Everything is free for your first 3 days, counted from your first mock test or practice round. After that, one mock test a day stays free, and so do your results, the explanations and the signs. The one-month pass, R48.99 through Google Play, opens unlimited tests and every practice round for a month.

Does the pass renew by itself?

No. You pay once through Google Play and it lasts a month. Nothing renews, so there is nothing to cancel.

Does the app need data or Wi-Fi?

No. K53 Simulator works offline: your tests and results stay on your phone, and it has no ads, no account and no tracking.

Is there an iPhone version?

Are these the testing centre’s own questions?

No. We write every question ourselves and check it against the National Road Traffic Act and its Regulations. Each explanation names the regulation, section or sign it comes from.
