What do you think? Should the speed limit for L drivers be limited to 80 km???
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....

L platers should definately be only required to travel at 80km/h as i have 2 sons who are learners and they need to be able to control the car and concentrate on what other road users are doing at the same time and most young drivers these days are to busy with the music in their car, if there is a freeway or motorway then usually these are multi laned and the other road users have the opportunity to over take them.
