Allowing learner drivers on motorways

Learner drivers will be able to take driving lessons on motorways before passing their driving test under new plans.

Learner drivers would need to be accompanied by an approved driving instructor in a car fitted with dual controls.

Better prepared drivers

The changes will allow learner drivers to:

• train on how to join and leave the motorway, overtake and use lanes correctly
• practice driving at higher speeds
• put their theoretical knowledge into practice
• get broader driving experience before taking their driving test
