Motorway Driving Course

Who needs motorway lessons?

Most learners never touch a motorway during their standard lessons because, until 2018, it was illegal to do so in a learner vehicle. Now it is allowed with an approved instructor, but many newly qualified drivers still reach their test having never driven above 60mph in a dual-carriageway situation, let alone on a motorway.

This session is for anyone who wants to close that gap, whether you passed recently, haven't driven on a motorway in years, or just find high-speed driving genuinely stressful.

What does the session cover?

• Joining the motorway safely using slip roads
• Lane discipline and when to move between lanes
• Overtaking confidently and pulling back in safely
• Smart motorway rules: ALR sections, refuge areas, variable speed limits
• Leaving the motorway: signal timing and deceleration
• Breakdowns: what to do and where to go

Can learners take this lesson?

Yes. Since June 2018 learner drivers can take motorway lessons with an ADI in a dual-control vehicle. This is actually a great way to build confidence before your test, even if the motorway itself won't be tested.

Pricing

The motorway session is £120 for 3 hours. It is a standalone session and does not require a package. Payment by cash or bank transfer.
