The normal test doesnt include motorway driving, however passing your test allows you to drive on all roads.

Its not so much about it being enforceable or not, its the cost of enforcing it. And at the moment its more about assessing, training and improving rather than a pass fail test.

If you immediately suspend someones licence on the hard shoulder how do they move away from the motorway, they arent allowed to walk down the hard shoulder. They cant remove their vehicle.


Also what happens if you live in the country but work in a town or city, you have had your licence for ten years, you pass town driving but fail or havent undertook rural driving or driving at night? Can you use your car to go to work if you know you will be driving later when its dark?
