Pass Plus is a training course specifically designed at new and inexperienced drivers to help reduce the risk of being involved in an accident. In the first two years of driving, you are at an increased risk of being involved in an accident than at any other time and 1 in 5 drivers are involved in an accident in the first year of driving.
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.
Pass Plus can help by developing your existing skills to help keep you safe on the roads. The modules covered are:
• Town driving
• All-weather driving
• Driving out of town
• Night driving
• Driving on dual carriageways
• Driving on motorways
Many insurance companies recognise your commitment to road safety and offer a discount on car insurance of up to 30% for those who have completed the Pass Plus course. Details of insurance companies participating in the scheme can be found at the Pass Plus website.
