PASS PLUS
This is a voluntary scheme designed by the DSA to develop the skills and knowledge of newly qualified drivers and broaden their driving experience.
WHO DOES IT BENEFIT?
- Newly qualified car drivers - safer driving and discounted motor insurance
- Instructors - opportunity to help newly qualified drivers develop their skills and knowledge
- Insurers - fewer claims and less expenditure
- The general public - safer roads
PASS PLUS is a six-module training syllabus. Modules will not take the same amount of time to cover, but each course must consist of a minimum of six hours training, five and a half of which must be practical in-car driving sessions.
This does not necessarily mean six sessions - the number of sessions required will depend on the ability and progress of the individual pupil.
WHAT IS THE AIM OF PASS PLUS?
It enables the new driver to:
- develop their exisiting skills
- acquire the new skills and knowledge that make up 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
If a new driver feels nervous driving on their own, PASS PLUS can also help to boost their confidence.
WHAT ARE THE 6 MODULES?
Module 1: Introduction (Part 1) Explanation of the PASS PLUS
Module 1: Town Driving (Part 2)
Module 2: All-weather driving
Module 3: Out of town driving and rural roads
Module 4: Night Driving
Module 5: Dual Carriageways
Module 6: Motorways

PRICES
I charge the same hourly rate as normal lessons (See the "Prices" page). If you worked it out, the cost of doing PASS PLUS would be less than the discount you could get from your insurance premium (which can be up to 30% off)!!
