MOTORWAY

Motorway
Motorways are high speed, multi-laned roads where the two carriageways are seperated by a central reservation.
They demand particular skills, including:

  • EFFECTIVE OBSERVATION, using your mirrors and checking your blind spots.
  • JUDGEMENT AND PLANNING AHEAD.
  • A SAFE SEPARATION DISTANCE.
  • USE OF SLIP ROADS. when joining and leaving the motorway.
  • OVERTAKING AND LANE DISCIPLINE.
  • CORRECT USE OF SPEED.

When you pass your test you are free to drive along the motorway.Few people feel prepared for this as you are given no practical motorway instruction while taking normal lessons.
Why not try a two hour motorway session after you pass just to make it a more familiar situation.
