But I am afraid that is modern day driving. Fast roads, fast cars, Smart motorways with ever-changing speed limits. You are the one in the minority living in a place with single carriageways and no dual carriageways/motorways. Yes plenty of bad drivers out there but also plenty of good ones that just want to get where they are going as fast as they can - without the ill-informed slow, middle lane-hogging drivers that think they are "good" drivers getting in the way.
I think more people that are not confident on motorways should be having lessons like these and I take my hat off to people that do. No one should be driving on a motorway without any sort of guidance or advice first. Unfortunately people do and that's where so many of the bad drivers come from.
But as a general rule of thumb, motorways are the easiest roads to drive on by a MILE (pardon the pun) :stuck_out_tongue:

Try going from easy going one track traffic down in the south west, to the mental knobheads driving at rush hour on the M25 around London.
Been driving for 8 years and only encountered that for the first time few months back and it was terrifying. Some drivers are truly scary to be on the same roads as.

my point exactly but not worded very well, they've never driven on a motoway and often never been on one either, duel carriageways are 70mph so that's the same speed but whole different kettle of fish.

You're allowed on dual carriageways, with the national limit, so 70mph. However, not motorways until after you pass.

Does this teach you to hog the 3rd lane at 60mph with clear traffic ahead?

No your allowed on dual carriageways which are up to 70 mph, just not motorways which is a bizarre rule. Single carriageway is 60 mph or 30 mph in towns.

Good deal, looking at the way half the people on the motorway drive maybe they should make it mandatory....

This is an awesome deal which i got for my daughter last year, she took the lesson in the instructors vehicle and it was her first drive on a motorway and as such was invaluable. As an added bonus she was given one year free AA membership on top, highly recommended.

Learners are not allowed on the motorway, but this is an excellent deal for people who have just passed or those who are afraid of going on motorways.

Heat added. I know, as a Cornish resident those who live further West, learners young and old never get any practice on the motorway as it's too far away. 2 hours + from where I live. excellent idea

pretty sure you're not allowed on the motorway until you've passed- you are allowed on 50mph roads if i remember correctly
