>especially as motorway driving isn't on the driving test and learners weren't allowed on motorways at all until 2018, so most drivers have never had any formal motorway training
The geography of the UK makes it difficult to require that- there are very large areas where it wouldn't be possible for a learner to reach a motorway then get home in a typical 2 hour lesson. Even if you only required learners to go on a national speed limit dual carriageway it wouldn't be possible in some places (far north of Scotland, for instance).
