Changes to the practical driving test: motorway driving

On the 1st June 2018, major changes are being brought in about what ought to be taught, which means that clients who are learning to drive will be allowed to drive on motorways at speeds of upto 70MPH! This is provided they are with a driving instructor who has dual control installed in their car.

The reason why these changes are coming in is because there are shocking statistics which suggest that young drivers- particularly those that have just passed their test are the most likely to be involved in an accident.

Will I have to drive on a motorway during my practical test?

No, you will not be asked to drive on a motorway during your driving test. The practical driving test was overhauled in December 2017 to include a satnav element and an extended period of independent driving. There was, however, nothing added about motorways.

How can you prepare?

Your driving instructor will brief you prior to directing you on to a motorway during your lessons. Ahead of this, you should find that the experience will run a lot smoother if you first familiarise yourself with the rules of the motorway by reading your highway code.
