Learner drivers to be allowed motorway lessons

Learner drivers will be allowed on the motorway with a qualified instructor in a dual-control car.The move follows years of pressure from road safety groups over what they argued was a long-running safety omission.While motorways are the safest type of road to travel on, the bar on learners using them meant they tended to be tackled for the first time by newly qualified drivers, who would often be alone in the car.
