Bedford Driving Lessons

Forget life in the fast lane: for many Britons our crowded motorways are a road to hell. Drivers in the North West of England have topped London when it comes to loathing motorway driving, according to a national ‘league table’ produced by AA Driving School. More than a fifth (22%) of drivers in the North West – up to 900,000 in total – say they lack vital skills needed for driving on motorways. This compares with 15.5% – up to 630,000 drivers – in second-place London, and a UK-wide average of 14%. The findings form part of research by AA Driving School which reveals that fear of motorways and a lack of driving skills are causing millions of Britons to avoid the roads altogether. Nationally, one in seven motorists – nearly 5 million in total – say they lack skills needed for motorway driving.
