The controls of vehicles include the interior rear-view mirrors (1), the wipers (2), the exterior side-view mirrors (3), the steering wheel (4), the indicator lever (5), the gear lever (6), the parking brake, also called hand brake (7), the clutch pedal (8), the foot brake (9), the accelerator pedal (10), and the hooter (11). 

In addition, there are critical instruments that explain how the vehicle and its engine is handling, particularly the speedometer (indicating your travelling speed), an oil pressure gauge (indicating the oil pressure in the engine), a temperature gauge (indicating the temperature of the radiator coolant), a fuel gauge (indicating how much fuel you have left), and in some cars, an overview of the car's revolutions per minute (engine rotations). All these controls and instruments are used to ensure safe vehicle handling.

Different makes of vehicles will be different and as such you should familiarize yourself with the vehicle you train on or drive in and know what each control is used for. The illustrations in the next section is representative of those that will be used in the exam and give a nice indication of what this could look like in a manual gear vehicle. 

An automatic vehicle is different in that it does not have a clutch pedal and the gear lever looks slightly different.

The controls of motor cycles include the gear lever (1), the clutch lever (2), the exterior side-view mirrors (3), the front wheel brakes (4), the accelerator (5), the indicator switch (6), the rear wheel foot brake (7), the handle bars (8), and the hooter (9). 

In addition, there are critical instruments that explain how the motor cycle and its engine is handling, particularly the speedometer (indicating your riding speed), an oil pressure gauge (indicating the oil pressure in the engine), a fuel gauge (indicating how much fuel you have left), and an overview of the motor cycle's revolutions per minute (engine rotations). All these controls and instruments are used to ensure safe motor cycle handling.

Different makes of motor cycle will be different and as such you should familiarize yourself with the motor cycle you train on or drive in and know what each control is used for. The illustrations in the next section is representative of those that will be used in the exam and give a nice indication of what this could look like in a typical motor cycle. 

Each motor vehicle will look slightly different and you should familiarise yourself with the one you drive. While Light Motor Vehicles (cars) and Heavy Motor Vehicles (trucks) may look different, they typically have the same general controls. The main controls of light motor vehicles typically include:

1. Interior rear-view mirrors: Used to see behind the vehicle 
2. Wipers: Used to clean the front glass for water
3. Exterior side-view mirrors: Use to see behind the vehicle and to its side
4. Steering wheel: Steers the vehicle left, right or straight
5. Indicator lever: Used to signal left or right
6. Gear lever: Used to select gear (in combination with clutch)
7. Parking brake: Used to secure the car when stationary
8. Clutch pedal: Used to select gear (in combination with gear lever)
9. Foot brake:Used to brake the car
10. Accelerator pedal: Used to accelerate the car / go faster
11. Hooter: Used to warn other road users through sound

1. Gear lever: Select gear combination with clutch lever)
2. Clutch lever: Select gear (in combination with gear lever)
3. Side-view mirrors: See behind the vehicle
4. Front wheel brakes: Brake using the front wheel. This is the most powerful brake and provides at least 3/4 of your braking power.  If the front brake locks, you must release it immediately.
5. Accelerator: Accelerate the motor cycle / go faster
6. Indicator switch: Indicate movement to left or right
7. Rear wheel foot brake: Brake using the rear wheel. This is the less powerful brake and should be used in combination with the front wheel brake to slow down the motor cycle.
8. Handle bars: Steer the motor cycle to the left or to the right
9. Hooter: Warn other road users
