PASS PLUS

WHAT IS IT?

Pass Plus is a scheme backed by the Government's Driving Standards Agency and insurers to encourage newly qualified drivers to become better drivers. Pass Plus gives extra experience and positive driving skills that would otherwise take a long time to acquire.
Pass Plus consists of a course of six specially designed sessions to follow on from a successful practical driving test.
Many insurers give a discount to people taking Pass Plus - equivalent to a one year no-claims bonus.

WHAT IS COVERED?

• In town
• Out of town
• In all weather conditions
• At night
• On dual carriageways
• On motorways

There is no further test to take, when your instructor is satisfied with your performance you receive a certificate from the Driving Standards Agency. Pass Plus really works in helping to make newly qualified drivers safer and better drivers.

WHO CAN TAKE PART

You can take the Pass Plus within your first year of passing the practical driving test. Your Pass Plus instructor can provide more information on the scheme including the content of the training sessions and the small cost involved. The Pass Plus hotline telephone number for information is 01472 320999

DID YOU KNOW?

As a new driver, you are more likely to have an accident in the first year after passing your test than at any other time in your motoring career.

Per mile of driving, the risk of an accident involving injury or death is about seven times greater for 17-20 year olds than for those aged 40 or over. Drivers under 21 are involved in 15% of all accident deaths.
