Very early morning for Lucas and I this morning. Lucas passed his Driving Test first time with only a solo driving fault. Feedback from the examiner was very pleasing after she said it was a beautiful driving experience. Very well done Lucas, safe driving and I’m going to keep an eye out for you on the water in the Olympics. 🚗🛶

What do people think?

🚗 This is actually happening, but PLEASE read where before everybody panics.
There has been so much confusion on recent enquiries .

From 1 October 2026, Northern Ireland is introducing Graduated Driver Licensing, and some of the changes are substantial.

Learners will have a minimum six-month learning period before they can take their practical driving test.

They will complete a structured programme of training which must be recorded in a logbook.

After passing, new drivers will face restrictions for longer, including night-time passenger restrictions for some newly qualified drivers.

Another big change is motorway driving. Until now, learner drivers in Northern Ireland have not been allowed on motorways.

From October, they will be able to have motorway lessons when accompanied by an Approved Driving Instructor.
Before anyone in Wales, England or Scotland says, “Hang on, we already do that…”
WE DO.

Learners in Great Britain have been allowed on motorways with an ADI in a dual-controlled car since 2018.

So Northern Ireland isn’t introducing something completely new to the rest of us with motorway lessons. They’re bringing their system more in line with what we’ve already been able to offer learners here.

But the six-month minimum learning period and structured training are where I think this becomes particularly interesting for the rest of Great Britain.

Our government has already been looking at ideas around minimum learning periods, supervised learning and a more structured approach to preparing new drivers.

You can teach somebody how to move a car surprisingly quickly.
Clutch. Gears. Steering. Brakes.
But learning to drive is something completely different.
Reading situations. Anticipating other people’s mistakes. Experiencing darkness, rain, rural roads, busy traffic, faster roads and situations you’ve never encountered before.

That takes time and experience.
Passing a driving test should never be about getting somebody through as quickly as possible.
It should be about preparing them for what happens when the instructor and examiner are no longer sitting beside them.

💬 Would you support a minimum six-month learning period being introduced in Wales, England and Scotland too?
