PASS PLUS COURSES Great! You have passed your driving test and can now drive by yourself. This is an exciting time – driving gives you freedom and independence. It can also be very expensive! WHY? Statistics show new drivers, no matter what age, are more likely to have an accident within the first two years of passing their test, than at any other time in their driving career. It is essentially down to a lack of experience. Insurance premiums reflect the increased risk. WANT TO REDUCE YOUR INSURANCE? Sign up for Pass Plus, a training scheme for new drivers. It is designed to develop your skills and knowledge to make you a safer driver. On your driving lessons, you should have experienced a variety of road and traffic conditions. This training often takes place in an area you are familiar with, as there are time constraints and lesson plans to consider. Pass Plus provides the opportunity to drive out of your local area, extending your driving experience in safety. Build on Existing Skills and Knowledge You already know how to drive so your Pass Plus sessions will be different to a driving lesson. You will develop your confidence and ability to deal with unfamiliar road and traffic conditions under the guidance of an experienced professional. |
The Pass Plus scheme is made up of six course modules. All of the modules must be successfully completed to the required standard. Driving around a town The first module has two parts. It begins with an introduction to Pass Plus, explaining the course aims and the skills and knowledge to be covered. All weather driving This module will be covered as much as possible in a practical session. You’ll focus on correct speed, safe stopping distances, plus seeing and being seen. Driving in the countryside This module looks at the main differences between town and country driving. Driving at night This covers the important parts of driving at night, dawn and dusk. Driving on dual carriageways Dual carriageways are high speed roads where the two carriageways are separated by a central reservation. Driving on motorways This will be a practical session. You should drive on a motorway as soon as you can afterwards so you can put the theory into practice. |
