Are Learners Allowed to Drive on the Motorway?

Indeed, students are allowed to drive on the highway. However they can do so only on a dual-controlled vehicle with a DVSA-approved instructor. This has been introduced on on the forth June 2018. Provided that they are in a dual-controlled car with a driving instructor who has been authorized by the DVSA, learner drivers are permitted to drive on motorways with their provisional license.

Therefore Driving Lessons Edinburgh can confirm that, in short, students are allowed to drive in the motorway, but only during their driving lessons with their driving instructor.

This makes very much sense. The motorway is a very dangerous environment and it is not a place where you want to make mistakes while driving. With the support of your driving instructor you can rest assured that you are safe at all times. Driving in the motorway without your driving instructor could you as well as others at risk.
