If you take driving lessons in Doncaster and Rotherham or if you are currently taking driving lessons in Barnsley then you will be interested to know that learner drivers may soon be given the chance to take a lesson when it comes to driving on the motorway. They will be able to take a driving lesson on the motorway with a qualified driving instructor as long as the car that they are driving has dual controls. As it stands, you can only take driving lessons on a motorway when you have passed your test, and some newly qualified drivers can also take lessons through the Pass Plus scheme.
Of course, it would be up to the driving instructor whether or not they are able to take a lesson on the motorway and to also decide whether or not they are ready for this. It is said that this change is going to help learner drivers to get a much better experience when the time does come for them to take their test and they can also take lessons on how to join and even leave the motorway. You can also take lessons when it comes to overtaking and how to use lanes correctly as well. This will also give the driver practice at driving at much higher speeds, and the knowledge they need to ultimately be safe when they are out and on the road.
Statistics show that motorways are the safest of all roads, but this may not feel that way to someone who is a learner driver going down the slip road for the very first time, or even driving traffic during a heavier flow. A lot of people are scared about going on the motorway for the first time, and this is something that will certainly help.
