That should be ok, since it is tutiotion, how else they're gonna learn? Doing my licence in Germany, went on the motorway and instructor had me up to 160 km/h. Overtaking, checking mirrors for BMW's doing 230 km/h, it's got to be done, was scary at first, but never been a problem since. But then they cocnept of failing your test and driving home is unknown over there. You say it was an instructor with a student. That should be ok, since it is tutiotion, how else they’re gonna learn?

There is a difference. Rules of the road page 105 (Junctions and dual carriageways) At no point does it say that provisional licence holders cannot use these roads whereas on page 119 it states that people who do not hold a full driving licence for the category of vehicle they drive and people driving on 'L' plates may not drive on motorways. One could argue that there is no difference between a motorway & a dual carrigaeway in which case our L drivers would be limited to mostly regional roads as our national road system continues to be up graded and in my opinion that could be more dangerous for everyone.

"Motorways As a provisional licence holder, you must not drive on a motorway. It is a serious offence to do so." http://www.drivingschoolireland.com/driving-legally.html#7 Am i not mistaken in thinking Learners are forbidden from driving on the motorways as they only hold a valid Provisional licence..

“Motorways

If I had a big fecker of a lorry up my arse when I was learning I'd have sh** a brick!! My nerves were bad enough as it was at the time!! He seriously needs a good kick in the goolies for that!!
