The scheme that gives you extra experience and a discount on your car insurance.
Over 1,000 successful candidates per month have enjoyed the benefits of advanced training and insurance discounts, since the scheme stated in February 1995.
You've passed your test. Now your ready for Pass Plus, the intensive training course that will help you become a better driver and get a discount on your insurance. So besides improving your driving skills, it could help you save money.
Who can take part?
You can take Pass Plus within your first year of passing the practical driving test.
What's involved?
When you get your full driving licence, you can book for a course of 6 specially designed training sessions.
These cover • Driving in Town More • Driving out of Town More • Driving in all Weather More • Driving at Night More • Driving on Dual Carriageways More • Driving on Motorways More There is no further test to take. When your instructor is satisfied with your performance you receive a certificate from the Driving Standards Agency(DSA). This certificate will earn you a substantial discount on your insurance premium from one of the companies in the scheme.
Why more training?
As a new driver, you are more likely to have an accident in the first than at any other time in your motoring career. Lack of experience means that you can be as much as TWO SECONDS slower than a more practised motorist.
Young new drivers are especially vulnerable. They hold only 10% of licences, but they are involved in 20% of road accidents in which someone is injured.
Pass Plus gives you valuable extra experience and positive driving skills that would otherwise take a long time to acquire. You should be a safer and better driver.
