PASS PLUS

Pass Plus is a training scheme for new drivers. It is not the same as taking a few defensive driving lessons. It is a driving course which has been specially designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA)https://www.gov.uk/pass-plus/overview in conjunction with insurers and it was developed to:

• Build on your existing skills and experience : It does take years of experience to become a skilled driver. Pass Plus will help you achieve this by speeding up the learning process. It is a course designed to help you in becoming a safer driver in the least amount of time.

• Build valuable driving experience in a safe environment : Pass Plus will teach you to manage a wider range of road and traffic situations, many of which you would probably not have experienced yet.

• Reduce the risk of having an accident : This course was specifically tailored to help build your hazard awareness and teach you how to anticipate possible hazards and how to deal with them in advance.

• Boost your confidence : Your Pass Plus training will help make you a more confident driver which will in turn make your driving experience more enjoyable.

• Get cheaper car insurance : There are a number of UK insurance companies taking part in this scheme and they may offer attractive discounts for young drivers who have completed and passed the Pass Plus course. It may even be possible to get a discount which could cover the cost of the course. Substantial discounts apply to comprehensive, third party fire and theft and third party insurance policies.

If you do not have your own car at the time of passing your Pass Plus course, you can normally defer the discount for up to two years – check with your insurance company. Enrolling for the Pass Plus course will also give peace of mind to your family and loved ones. The course consists of six lessons which cover introduction and town driving, driving in different kinds of weather, driving on rural roads, driving at night, dual-carriageway driving and motorway driving. You can complete it at any time during the first twelve months from passing your driving test. Please give me a call to find out more
