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 comparitive lack of experience often leads to these errors.
Who can take Pass Plus?
Anyone with a Full UK Licence 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

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

(Safely)

to make driving enjoyable, but safe.

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 thats £300 off a £1000 premium. Many pupils benefit even more.
How much does Pass Plus cost?
Our fee for taking Pass Plus is £140.00. 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
