No account needed. Free covers vehicle controls, how signs work, the sign codex and one full mock test.

Slow down and stop if a pedestrian is waiting at the crossing. Do not overtake other vehicles that have stopped at the pedestrian crossing.
Learn. Practise. Test. In that order, and never the other way round.
Most apps are a quiz with a sign bank attached. You guess, you get it wrong, you memorise the answer. Road Quest teaches first and only ever asks what it has taught.
Learn
Each lesson is a drive. The car pulls up to the sign, the marking or the situation, and a card explains it in plain words with the manual reference.
Stop behind the stop line. If there is no stop line, stop with the front of your vehicle in line with the sign. At a three-way or four-way stop you may not move off before the vehicles that stopped before you have moved off. Go only when it is safe.
Practise
Ten questions, no clock, only on lessons you have finished. The ones you miss come back sooner. Every answer links back to its lesson.
Test
The computerised learner's test shape: 64 questions in 60 minutes, three sections, each passed on its own at the official pass marks.

- Signs, signals, markings25/28
- Rules of the road20/28
The whole manual. Not a sample of it.
The source is the SA Learner Driver Manual the test is set from: Rules of the Road, Road Traffic Signs, Vehicle Controls. Every card and every question carries its reference, so nothing here is made up.
90 lessons in 16 modules, about 10 hours of reading, 600 questions, and 399 signs, markings and signals, 307 of them drawn exactly as they stand on the road.

Start where you are.
The first thing the app asks is what you are here for. A first attempt gets the whole course. Someone who failed one section gets that section and a mock for it alone. A motorcycle learner never sees a car pedal.
Then it asks how fast: a 30-day course at twenty minutes a day, a six-day push for a test next week, or a flexible plan around your date. A missed day moves forward. Nothing expires.

- I failed on rules of the roadLicence, roadworthiness, speed, driving, intersections, parking and duties, then a rules-only mock.
- Just the signsThe signs modules and the codex. Ends with a signs-only mock.

Straight answers.
- Is this the official K53 learner's test?
- No. Road Quest is study material built from the Department of Transport's SA Learner Driver Manual, and the mock test uses the same shape and pass marks as the computerised learner's test. The test itself is written at a licensing centre.
- Is Road Quest free?
- Free to start, no account needed: vehicle controls, how signs work, the full sign codex and one full mock test. The whole course is R99 for 30 days, no subscription.
- How many questions are in the mock test?
- The mock follows the computerised learner's test shape: 64 questions in 60 minutes across vehicle controls, road signs and rules of the road, each section passed on its own at the official pass mark.
- Car or motorcycle?
- Both. Pick one at the start. The motorcycle path has its own controls lesson and rider duties, and drops the car-only cards.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Progress is saved on your phone. Sign in with Google or an email link if you want it to follow you to another phone.
- What if I failed one section?
- Say so on the first screen. You get that section's lessons and a mock for that section alone, at the real pass mark.
