Motorway Driving Lessons for Learners
Tailored to Your AbilitySince motorway training became available to learners, new drivers have had the opportunity to gain valuable experience on high-speed roads before passing their test. At EasyGo Driving School, we offer structured motorway lessons with a fully qualified instructor to help you build confidence in this environment.
Motorway driving can feel intimidating at first. Higher speeds, multiple lanes, and fast-moving traffic require good judgement and awareness. That’s why we strongly recommend taking at least two dedicated motorway lessons to develop the skills needed to drive safely and confidently.
Learners are only permitted to drive on motorways when accompanied by a fully qualified driving instructor in a dual-controlled vehicle displaying L plates. Please note that motorway lessons are priced slightly higher than standard lessons due to the advanced training involved.
Although some drivers may feel nervous about motorway driving, motorways are statistically the safest roads in the UK and are designed to allow smooth, efficient travel over long distances.
