As someone who does thousands of miles of motorway driving each year and has done for the past 40+ years, it’s second nature to me and I never give it a thought.

Apparently though, there are a large number of motorists who avoid motorway driving according to the RAC and it can be daunting for drivers who have recently passed their test.

The AA sees motorway driving as the Achilles heel of learner drivers.

From next year learner drivers will be allowed to have lessons on motorways in a dual-control car, with an experienced driving instructor.

Not sure about this. Maybe once a learner has passed their test, they should then go on to have lessons on the motorway.

Thoughts?
