Brought to you by the same people who kindly removed the need for an MOT or MVD on my gleaming 1963 Rover 110 P4.

Cripes!

Not really.

If you live in an area with lots of dual carriageways that go onto motorways all it means is a few times instead of turning off you will continue on.

This. It bit of common sense applied for a change.

[WTFH]

In some parts of the UK they have the "R" plate for "Restricted". For a year after you've passed your test you can only drive up to a max of 45mph, but on any road. This gives you time to learn a bit more without having someone there to hold your hand, and the R lets other drivers know that you are a new driver, so give a bit of extra room and consideration.

Yep. My kids had lessons on the motorway (Switzerland) as soon as their instructors thought they were ready.

Next: invalid carriages and motorcycles under 50cc, pedestrians, and animals

Driving at 45mph on a motorway and some dual carriageways is dangerous.

It also annoys HGV drivers who then have to be let out by people like me, who can see their frustration.
