Learner drivers will be allowed on motorways under Government plans to make roads safer, it is announced today.
And there will be tougher tests for
motorcyclists in the biggest shake-up for riders in 26 years.
Under the plans, competent learner drivers will be able to take motorway lessons with an approved instructor in a dual-controlled car.
The idea was first proposed in 2011 under the Tory-led coalition, when Department for Transport said 82 drivers under 21 were involved in fatal motorway crashes between
2006 and 2010.
Ministers also want to update the 1990
Compulsory Basic Training for motorcyclists,which lets learners ride unaccompanied.
