·Always specify the class of vehicle you are licensed to drive, the date your licence was issued, and whether you hold a Professional Driving Permit (PrDP).

·Government driver posts are typically graded at salary level 3 to 5 and require a minimum of a Code 8 licence.

·Heavy motor vehicle and articulated truck drivers with clean records and multiple years of experience command significantly higher salaries in the private sector.
