A good move in my view. I have always believed a lesson from an instructor should be mandatory. Not easy in some areas due to distance but that should not prevent it.
When my children passed their tests I got them lessons with instructors.
Having commuted for years on the M4, which is not that busy compared to some, and seen the antics going on I thought lessons a must.
I even think that every few years every driver should have a refresher session with an instructor, not a retest, just refresher. Having done a speed awareness course even that jogs the brain unless, like some, you go there blinkered.
