As a new driver, you may never have driven on a motorway. They are unlike any other road, not just because of the number of lanes, the high traffic volumes and vehicle speeds, but also because there are rules and signs that only relate to motorways. Pass Plus will give you invaluable training and experience in driving on motorways.If there’s no motorway nearby, this session will have to be covered in theory (while you can gain some helpful experience on dual carriageways, this won’t cover aspects specific to motorways). In this case, you should plan to drive on the motorway as soon as possible after the course, so you can put the knowledge into practice. As with any theory session, it would need to be completed to an achieved standard.Topics covered will include:Planning journeys in advanceJoining and leaving motorwaysSafe speed in different circumstancesEffective observation (use of all mirrors, blind spots, scanning the near, middle and far distance)Signs, signals and markingsOvertaking and lane disciplineCourtesy to other road usersMotorway fatigueBreakdown proceduresUse of lights, including hazard warning lightsDebris on the carriagewayCrosswindsAchieved – demonstrated theoretical knowledge and understanding of the principles of joining travelling and leaving that was consolidated on dual carriageways.Exceeded – a practical motorway session that demonstrated safe, correct control and judgement when joining, travelling along and exiting a motorway.
