'Learners need help on motorways'

Learner drivers in England, Wales and Scotland are now allowed to have lessons on the motorway.

Previously only those who have passed their test could do so, but lessons are now allowed in a dual-control car with an approved driving instructor.

Driving instructor Ben Lucas said the move would make motorways safer.

Learner driver Jonathan Davies, who was among the first to benefit from the law change on Monday, said it was "long overdue".
