South African Learner Driver Manual (NaTIS)
The official South African Learner Driver Manual, issued by the Department of Transport and distributed via NaTIS/eNaTIS. It is the canonical syllabus for the learner’s licence test, split into three numbered sections: (1) Rules of the Road, (2) Road Signs, Signals and Road Markings, and (3) Vehicle Components and Controls (Section 3, v1.00, June 2012). The controls section is component-identification based — it numbers 9 motorcycle controls and 11 light/heavy-vehicle controls and asks ‘which numbered control does X’.
