Motorists have been battling for more than a year to get booking slots on the online Natis system. But there s a little company that s helping Gauteng drivers one at a time.
There s not a day that goes by where we don t hear from motorists who can t find any bookings on the Natis system for weeks or months now. But, the other day, a different email came through from Wheels24 reader Piston Broke, who wrote in and told me about the Gauteng Licence Bookings company.
I was intrigued and reached out to find out more because if anyone out there can assist our battling motorists before the 31 August deadline, our readers need to know about it.
Wheels24 readers, Miss Jay, shares her thoughts: I had been trying to book a driver s test for my son since December and I cannot seem to find a slot available anywhere throughout Gauteng. At first, I had been really patient and looked up at different hours of the day, and weeks, but after months of checking, I realised it s simply not possible at all! I posed this question in our area Blockwatch group and it had turned out that many are feeling the same frustration but then resorted to the driving school for bookings.
My logic thinking is that why is it possible for the driving school being able to secure a slot yet the law abiding citizen looking every day on the Natis not able to get any slot available for all the testing stations? Why must I pay an additional fee for these third-party companies as everyone is asked to book online?! Do they have connections to these stations that we don t? I had been actively looking online all these times as well.
