No, trainee driving instructors cannot take learner drivers onto the motorway. Only fully qualified Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) holding a green badge are legally permitted to deliver motorway lessons. Trainees display a pink badge and are prohibited from motorway tuition under UK law.

The law changed on 4th June 2018 to allow learner drivers onto motorways in England, Scotland, and Wales. However, the DVSA was explicit that this permission applies only to fully qualified instructors. If a trainee instructor takes a learner onto the motorway, their insurance may be invalid and both parties could face legal consequences.

For learners in Morley, Leeds, and surrounding areas, this means checking your instructor’s badge before booking motorway lessons. At BB Driving School, Justin Holmes is a Grade A DVSA Approved Instructor with over 25 years of experience and holds a green badge — fully qualified to deliver motorway tuition as part of your training. Whether you’re building confidence on the M62, M1, or M621, or completing a Pass Plus course after passing your test, motorway lessons are available with a fully qualified instructor.
