Pass Plus
What is
Pass Pluss?
Pass Plus is
a six-module voluntary course designed and backed by the Government's
Driving Standards Agency and insurers to develop the skills and
knowledge of newly qualified drivers and broaden their driving
experience. The modules will not all take the same amount of time to
cover, but each six-module course must consist of a minimum of six
hours training, five and a half of which must be practical in-car
driving.
The
Syllabus:
Pass Plus consists
of an
additional course of six specially designed training sessions or
modules to follow
on from a successful practical driving test. The six modules are:
- Town driving
- All-weather driving
- Out of town driving and rural roads
- Night driving
- Dual carriageways
- Motorways
When you have
successfully completed the Pass Plus course you will receive a
certificate from
the Driving Standards Agency.
How
will I Benefit?
The aim of Pass
Plus is to
enable the new driver to:
- develop their existing skills
- acquire the new skills and knowledge that
make for positive driving
- further develop anticipation skills, plan
for and deal with hazards safely
- understand how to reduce their risk of
having a crash
- maintain a courteous and considerate
attitude to other road users.
Pass Plus
really works in helping to make newly qualified drivers safer and
better drivers. Newly qualified drivers are much more vulnerable than
they realise. Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have
an accident within their first two years of driving than at any other
time in their driving career. In their first year of driving, one
driver in five is involved in a crash and two young people under 25 die
every day in crashes in Great Britain.
Many insurers also give a
discount to people taking Pass Plus - equivalent to a one-year no
claims bonus. You may also be able to defer the bonus for up to 2 years.
When
can I take it?
You can take Pass
Plus within
your first year of passing the practical driving test.
