It would certainly be an idea to include motorways in the tuition if not the test itself (especially if you live in Lands End). May a series of add-on certificate: motorways, night driving and foul weather just for starters.
Many apparently experienced drivers were only ever taught to pass the test, not drive in today's traffic conditions. What often surprises me is the lack of some really basic knowledge of the Highway Code and road signs. A couple of simple ones that seem to cause problems (don't look up the answers):-
1. What is the National Speed Limit?
2. What is a box junction and when can you stop in one?
3. Traffic Lights: What does an amber light mean?
4. What colour are the reflective studs on a motorway or dual carriageway and where would they be positioned?
5. How would you recognise a STOP sign that was covered in snow?
6. How would you recognise a GIVE WAY sign that was covered in snow?
