In respect of driving tests, a large number of drivers have learner permits. Although more than 11,000 of them have been disqualified in court since 2016, only 722 of them, according to information I have, have surrendered their permit to the RSA, which is required by law. This was raised in a parliamentary question previously. Why is this allowed to happen and what steps is the authority taking to follow up on that matter?
