Quick start
Six steps from a new account to watching for an earlier practical test.
1. Create your account
Use Create account on this site, or the same screen in the iOS or Android app. Confirm the email code we send. There is no instructor code.
2. Connect MyRoadSafety
Read the consent screen, then sign in on RSA’s own page with RSA login or MyGovID, including their two-step code if they ask for one. We keep that session encrypted so we can check for you. We do not see or store your portal password.
3. See if you can move a test
Home shows whether RSA will let you book, your email, your driver number, and how long the login has left. Watching an earlier date needs a test you already hold. If RSA has not opened the driving-test step yet, the screen says what is missing.
4. Set preferences
Open Preferences and set:
- Up to four test centres. Remove one from its chip, or use Change centres.
- Days on the calendar. Pink is a whole day. Amber uses the hours you set on that weekday.
- Advance notice. The default is 5 days. One day is the shortest.
- Auto-booking, if you want tighter rules: any day, or only chosen weekdays. Long-press a weekday in the app to set hours. Extra alerts can include slots outside those rules, and a check that fails temporarily.
Tap Save. The rules apply to the next check. They do not move a test that is already booked.
5. Start watching
On Home, start watching once RSA shows you can move the test you hold. The first three days are checked quickly. After that, a free account is checked less often. Found Slots shows what we last saw, and a countdown to the next check.
6. When a slot appears
You get one push and one email for the best match. Open it and confirm on MyRoadSafety. Swiping to book in the app opens the portal. The RSA fee is paid there, not to us.
If setup is not complete
- First test. RSA will not open the driving-test step until the earlier goal steps are done. For a car that is usually theory, a learner permit, and EDT. Motorcycles use Initial Basic Training. Trucks and buses have their own steps.
- No booking yet. Book any date on MyRoadSafety first. We then watch for an earlier one. We do not create the first booking or take the RSA payment.
- Login expired. Sign in again in the app. We pause until you do. That is not a report that no slots exist.
- RSA has restricted the account. We stop. We do not switch to another login.
