Simple answer - confidence. If you can't show you can travel towards the limit (obviously not over it), then quite simply not a pass IMO. I know several people who might be afraid to even take on the motorway after they've passed - not good news if you ask me, otherwise you'll never get on it.

I'd admit i was travelling around 60 on a 70mph dual carriageway on my driving test, but the simple answer was because it was pissing it down with rain (very heavy) and rather dark too.

At the end of the day, it might sound harsh, but if I was following someone doing 60 in a 70 zone when it's very safe to do the limit, that really irritates me - something I see fairly often around here. [thumbdown] You can imagine how much it'll irritate alot of other drivers.
