\n\tThe idea of motorway learner drivers gets a big thumbs down from more than half of Britain’s motorists. Ahead of new changes set to come into effect on 4 June, 2018, over 50% of the UK’s fully fledged motoring community say that learner drivers on the motorway are an accident waiting to happen!<\/p>\n
\n\t‘Inexperienced motorway learner drivers will be a hazard and cause journey delays’, according to more than 50% of Britain’s road users. A new study found that over half of UK motorists are opposed to new laws that will allow learner drivers to take to the motorway as of 4 June, 2018.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe new law is a landmark in driver training history, introduced as part of the biggest shakeup to driver testing since the introduction of the theory test<\/strong><\/a> and hazard perception exam. However, a survey carried out by Servicing Stop revealed that 56% of Brits were against the new laws.<\/p>\n \n\tWhat have Brits got against Motorway Learner Drivers?<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tThe majority of those participating in the study said that motorway learner drivers pose a danger to other road users. 42% feared that the rule changes would make motorways even more unsafe, while 14% said that novice drivers on Britain’s busiest highways would cause frustration as motorists get stuck behind new drivers travelling at slow speeds!<\/p>\n \n\tHowever, 46% reckon that the new laws are a good idea, saying that it would provide learner drivers with the skills they need, rather than having to wait for a licence before taking to a motorway for the first time.<\/p>\n \n\tCurrently, all new drivers only experience motorway driving after they’ve passed their driving test<\/strong><\/a>. In many cases, they are doing this unsupervised, which is far more nerve-wracking and more likely to lead to an accident due to hesitancy or poor decision making.<\/p>\n \n\tAt least with a qualified supervisor to guide them, they can gain confidence and experience motorway driving in a safe way.<\/p>\n \n\tMotorway Experience Vital for Learner Drivers<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tAnnouncing the law changes earlier this year, the DVSA said that motorway training would be ‘invaluable for new motorists.’<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, Transport Minister Jesse Norman said: “Allowing learners to drive on motorways, with the support of an experienced driving instructor, will help them to develop a practical understanding of how to use motorways safely, and it will prepare them to drive <\/strong><\/a>on them alone.”<\/p>\n \n\tComplete Your Driver Training<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tBook Theory Test Today offers an intermediary service assisting clients with booking a UK theory test, or practical test, at test centres across the nation.<\/p>\n \n\tThe service also supplies resources to help you prepare for your practical and theory tests<\/p>\n
