Driving on Motorways

The high speeds and long distances often travelled on motorways can take their toll on both the vehicle and the driver. This module will teach you how to prepare for and deal safely with motorway journeys.

In some areas you might not be able to gain experience of motorways with your instructor. If this is the case you will need to fully understand the theory of motorway driving and take the first available opportunity to put that theory into practice.

This module of your Pass-Plus course will consider:

	Planning journeys in advance
	Joining and leaving a motorway, using slip roads
	Safe speeds in different circumstances
	Effective observation all around your vehicle
	Signs, signals and markings
	Overtaking and lane discipline
	Courtesy to other road users
	Motorway fatigue
	Breakdown procedures
	Use of lights, including hazard warning lights
	Debris on the carriageway
	Crosswinds
