Then you get into a section of road where all the traffic is in the outside two lanes and no one except the learner on the inside lane, causing more potentual for accidents.

So let the powers that be get all the articulated lorries, old fogies, classic cars etc. off the motorways as well......
Regardless of how much we like to have free flowing roads, sometimes we just have to slow down. Is seeing/reacting to/being held up by a slower vehicle ahead - beit a learner, lorry, OAP or whatever - any worse than a motorcyclist having to look out for wet manhole covers/oversized banding/potholes on the apex of a bend, in the dark, in the pouring rain and holding up cars in the process?
In any case, you kind of hope that an instructor wouldn't take a learner on to a motorway if they weren't ready for it.
Half (or quite possibly MOST) of the problem is as Keithblade pertained to - that there's not enough tolerence, respect or understanding on the roads. And why is it that common sense isn't...um........err.........COMMON!!!
IPSGA!!!!!!!
