@pedalparity We think it’s better for them to be trained to do this, rather than leave it to chance once they’ve passed their test. Using a sat nav also means we can widen driving test routes to include more of the roads where most fatal collisions happen.

Learners can take professional motorway lessons from 4 June: Use rule 259 of @highwaycodegb When you join the motorway you will normally approach it from a road on the left (a slip road) or from an adjoining motorway. You should give priority to traffic already on the motorway.
