Officials sometimes monitor the part of the driving test that takes place inside the centre, so if you hit the cones, you fail. Called a “Stay Soft”, this “service” will ensure the traffic officer testing you on the day of your license will explain and guide you verbally while you drive, and warn you of what you’re doing wrong and how to correct your driving to avoid hitting the cones. You can cheat your way to a driver’s licence for as little as R2,500, according to outside operators who arrange deals with insiders at the department.
