In my opinion I say yes for normal metro traffic. However when. Learners get onto the m5, m4 etc. speed limit of 80 km still applies for L drivers In my opinion this firstly does not let the learner gain experience of driving at a greater speed of perhaps 90 - 100km / hr. under supervision 2ndly - speed limit on the freeway is 110 km. Learners are only allowed to do 80 km. To many full licenced drivers this is annowying to have to be stuck behind a learner driver doing only 80km in a 110 km zone. In my view Learners should be permitted to travel at a higher speed on the expressway A; for experience; B: to avoid a probable collision with cars who are doing normal speed and then bang here is a slow one at 80km; c) learners need to go with the flow of the traffic and to keep the traffic flowing and not to slow it down , causing possible collisions and traffic jams. It is also very annoyinng for the learners when they are be beeeeeeeped for just doing the right thing keeping to the speed limit. In my opinion as a learner the speed limits on the highways for learner drivers should really be addressed.......
any comment appreciated....

Yes I do think a speed limit ,up to , 80 km for L plate drivers would be the way to go .Conditions must apply .The un experience of these learner drivers does vary from person to person with the confordance of some being greator than others.The graduated licence should be altered to cater for such learner drivers to advance to next level sooner ,for more driver aware person.and the other not so confidend learner ,stay with the L plate . I say NO to any L plate driver on any motor way,m5,m4 etc . Its just too dangerous for other road users. Let them become more confordent in a not to road crazy situation. When they graduated to the next level ,then i say yes to a greater speed levels to keep in flow with the other road users on those m5s etc
