However, operating a vehicle on a motorway while still learning could incur a fine of up to £1,000 and up to six points on their licence before obtaining a full driver's licence.
Any points earned on a provisional licence will be transferred to the full licence once the learner passes their test.
As previously stated, learners driving on the motorway without an authorised instructor could face a £1,000 fine and up to six points on their licence.
Moreover, points gathered during the provisional phase could negatively impact when they start hunting for insurance, as many insurers might charge significantly more for a new driver with points or even flatly decline to insure them.
If they rack up six or more points during this time, they'll lose their licence and have to retake their driving test.
