Pass Plus

What is Pass Plus?

Pass Plus is a DSA approved training course aimed at the 17 - 25 year olds. Designed to be taken after passing your L-Test. You will learn how to deal with various challenges that you may not have encountered during your pre-test lessons. Thereby helping you to be a safer, more confident driver.

Why Pass Plus?

Newly qualified drivers are much more vulnerable than they realise. Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident within the first two years after passing their driving test, than at any other time in their driving career. A quarter of those killed on the roads are under 21 years old. 95% of RTA's are caused by human error, and the new driver's comparative lack of experience often leads to these errors.

Who can take Pass Plus?

Anyone with a Full UK License can take Pass Plus. However, it is primarily aimed at the 17 to 25 age group, and is intended to be taken within the first year of passing their L-Test. You will not have to take a test at the end of the course but you will be continually assessed. You must successfully complete all the modules in the course to an achieved or exceeded standard.

What does it involve?

Pass Plus is made up of six practical modules which include:

• Driving in town
• Driving in adverse weather
• Driving on rural roads
• Driving at night
• Driving on dual carriage ways

Designed to be taken as 6 1hr lessons. However, this can be into two, three or four sessions. It offers professional instruction in the above areas helping them to:

• Gain quality driving experience (Safely)
• Become a more skillful driver
• Develop a positive driving style to make driving enjoyable, but safe.
• Reduce their risk of being involved in an accident.

What are the benefits?

In addition to their broader range of skills, greater confidence and reduced accident risk, all major insurance companies will offer a substantial discount on the cost of their insurance policies. This is usually in the area of 30% (similar to having a no-claims bonus, but in their first year of driving!) For example that is £300 off a £1000 premium. Many pupils benefit even more.

How much does Pass Plus cost?

Our fee for taking Pass Plus is £150.00. However, in light of the importance and success of the Pass Plus course several local authorities are helping pupils with the cost of the course.

Some boroughs, town, city or county councils offer discounts up to 50% of the full tuition costs. You've nothing to lose! So should this be of interest, then I will give full details of schemes in your area on application.
