Learner Driver on Highway?

[Grix17]

Has anyone seen learner drivers on the expressways?

 

I was travelling on SLE towards CTE near the Thomson Rd exit and there was this SSDC Honda City (the old ugly one) travelling in the middle lane at about 70 km/h. It was about 9 pm and the driver was a bit unsteady. After overtaking, I saw 2 men in the car. Clearly the driver was the learner.

 

Are learner drivers now allowed to drive on expressways? Or could it be an orientation/conversion lesson?

The driver was certainly a bit kayu and almost swerved from lane 2 to lane 1.

that's so dangerous! our highways have no space for L plates

Refresher course. Does include highway driving.

i think it's something like..once you passed, you are required(or have an option) to go for a lesson on driving on expressway..

Travelling at about 70km/h along CTE from Lane 2 to Lane 1. Any traffic jam behind or near accidents? The Instructor must be having hard time orientating his pupil about Expressway driving (Lane 1 for overtaking within 90km/h speed limit). Better learn with Instructor now than through accidents after passing Driving Test(s)

Ironically, a handful of MCF authors (TS) were recommended to attend Refresher Driving lessons for not know how to apply the Highway Code well, or lacks proper training/practice

You got the point. You are right. Some drivers only signal after filtering/turning done. Some only signal after being horned at. Some no idea which lane to drive car. Some no idea the speed limit. Some do not know how to reverse park their car. So you investing in any Driving Centre?

[Nzy]

After passing there is an optional course to let u drive on highway and try parking in public carparks.

Yes, if you are taking advance driving course or refresher course, you are allowed to drive on the expressway (cause the driver already has a driving license). If no license strictly cannot go expressway.
