I’d be interested in seeing numbers on how many people actually take this option up. Don’t see why it isn’t part of the test tbh. If you can’t merge properly, can’t properly plan an exit at the correct junction, and have no idea which lane you should be in at any given time then you’re a fucking liability.
Tho, as you say, most other components of driving are covered by the test and everyone appears to be shit at those too, so why I think this would have any impact on standards I do not know.

'cause if you take your test in Norfolk or Cornwall there isn't a motorway for miles?
From Wood Green or Hither Green (which appear to be the test centres nearest the centre of London?) getting out to a motorway and back during the test wouldn't leave much time for anything else.

That's why they changed the rules. Learners can now drive in the motorway with a qualified instructor in a dual control vehicle.
The general standard of driving is terrible. Lots of people driving in a way that they wouldn't pass their test but there is no enforcement so they don't care.
