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.

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
