Learners to be Allowed on Motorways from June 4th 2018

The Driving & Vehicles Standards Agency announced that learners will be able to head out on to UK motorways  from June 4th 2018 onwards, but only if they are with a fully qualified approved driving instructor (ADI) in a car fitted with dual controls.

The DVSA says that motorway driving is strictly voluntary and will not be included in the driving test. It will be up to instructors to decide if they feel their students are ready.

(Trainee motorcyclists on provisional licences still won’t be allowed on motorways after the new law is introduced)

Unlike over 86% of other instructors I regularly sit in on my pupil's driving tests, so I am able to offer realistic 'mock' practice test to my pupils and explain EXACTLY what will happen on test, hence my exceptionally high pass rates.
