I find motorway driving a lot easier than city centre driving.
Nothing worse than city driving. I'd rather drive a 60mph country road in the snow.

So really what you are doing here is blaming everyone but yourself. Ignoring everything I've suggested - forward planning and anticipation.
Couldn't be more wrong. A few questions for you:
How many drivers leave the legal safe stopping distance on a motorway? id say 10% if that
How many drivers approach slip roads at a speed higher than the current speed of the motorway?
I had to emergency stop as drivers incorrectly judge distances, they drive down sliproads doing 80-90 mph and try to "beat" current traffic on the road. A car travelling at a high speed cant enter a motorway safely, so you anticipate the car like follows the law and stops? When that car ignores the rules of the road things like emergency stops happen.
The replys im getting to this just shows im bang on the money here. Not one person has given a safe lawful answer. Each answer ignores the law of the road show its maybe those posters who shouldn't have a license.

I used to have a Micra. You get tossers going up the slip roads (on inclines ) to join, they're doing f***ing 35 mph in their much more powerful cars. You get stuck behind one of those ***** and you're fucked when you join the motorway. Struggling along at like 50mph for the next minute or so. Kernts.Mine is like shit off a stick the first 20mph
Weak as piss after that

Foot off accelerator.Please explain how I forward plan in this situation then genius:
7.30am Tuesday after a bank holiday weekend. Minimal space in front of me right lane full, car approaching at 60mph?

So you freely admit you drive too close to the vehicle in front? Here endeth the lesson.Please explain how I forward plan in this situation then genius:

Braking on a motorway us unnecessary and dangerous in itself most of the time. Just ease of the accelerator.So you can see the car approaching at 60mph? Apply a bit of progressive braking and create a gap. It isn't hard. The other driver is a tit but having an attitude of the law say X therefore I'm right is only going to help cause accidents. React to the situation and take other road users bad driving in to account.

Nah because if anyone sees a red light they immediately whack the anchors on and cause a wave of people stopping.surely braking is better so the car behind can see the brake lights and know you are slowing down?

Tidied yer poem for yer m8.Fuckin crazy idea
Keep the learners on local roads
They can get their basics before motorway driving
You cannot run before you can walk,
But wheel spins win a fair ladies heart.

Best compromise is a swift dab on the brake pedal as a gentle warning.

In the 1970s I was a passenger in a car and the driver missed the turning on the a1 somewhere in County Durham. They reversed back down the slip road and rejoined the main carriageway.When I took my test, I was asked how I'd turn right on a Motorway.
The very first stretch in the country,the M6 Preston by pass had only just opened, but I was aware of the system.
A few weeks later I was driving up that same stretch, hardly another car in sight and so relaxed I missed my turn off.
I checked ahead and behind, not a single vehicle in sight as far as the eye could see, then I did a U turn over the central reservation,no crash barriers then, and drove back down the opposite side to my turn off.
How times have changed.
