Make motorway lessons a mandatory part of UK driving test & lessons

Closed 65 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the Government to introduce a minimum requirement of 3 lessons on the motorway when learning to drive. On the test day, we think drivers must drive 15 miles on motorways, and show that they can move lanes safely.

We think that drivers should demonstrate how to safely over-take and how to stick to the left lane, only moving over during certain scenarios. We believe the driving standards of the UK have dropped tremendously during recent years, with countless crashes on a day to day basis. We think the UK motorway network can be the most dangerous place to drive and drivers hogging the middle lane, undertaking people and forcing people to move out of lane 3, puts other drivers at risk.
