LEARNING TO DRIVE: PASS PLUS

Insurance can be expensive
But there's a way to make it cheaper; once you have passed your Driving Test you should consider taking a PASS PLUS course. PASS PLUS was introduced by the Driving Standards Agency as a way to try to make newly qualified drivers safer. The course build upon the driving experience you have already gained.

The course is usually completed over 6 hours (not in one go!) and covers the following:

  Town & Country driving
  Motorway & Dual Carriageway driving
  Night driving
  Greater awareness of driving in adverse weather conditions

The instructor will issue a report of your success on the course (this is not a test) and this will enable you to get cheaper insurance on your car - it will also help to make you a safer driver.

Ideally, PASS PLUS should be completed within 12 months of passing your test.

Please remember that you can book a refresher lesson any time after you have passed your test, just to ensure your driving skills are kept up to date.
