On the news just now:

From now on if you apply for a code 10,11,12 14, or what ever heavy duty license and get this, you are not automatically entitled to drive a car/bakkie ( code 8 ).
You have to specifically apply for and get a code 8 license.

Up to now one could get a code 14 and drive all the lower codes except motorcycle on the same license.

I wonder what the reasoning behind this is ? Being able to drive a superlink one cannot drive a Toyota bakkie ? Makes no sense to me !
As it is, the testing centers are so congested in any case but I guess it is the MONEY again. Just a reminder again that we live in Africa !
