Why is code 10 easier?

Training and test requirements for the Code 10 drivers licence are not as intense as with the Code 08 drivers licence, making it easier to pass your Code 10 drivers licence. This means that if you pass the Code 10 drivers licence you are also allowed to drive any code 8 light motor vehicle. Most students applying for the Code 10 drivers licence, do so in order to get a drivers licence and then gain experience on the code 8 light motor vehicles at a later stage. It seems like this is a shortcut to a drivers licence. However, if your intention is to drive a car it would be highly recommended to get extra training with the code 8 light motor vehicle in order to gain the necessary skills and confidence.
