Pass Plus |
|
Pass Plus is an established training course aimed at new
drivers. It was designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA)
with the help of insurers and the driving instruction industry.
Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an
accident in the first two years after passing their test, due to
lack of driving experience. Pass Plus builds on your skills and
knowledge. It will teach you how to anticipate, plan for and
deal with all kinds of hazards, to help you become a more
confident driver |
|
You can take a Pass Plus course at any time, but it’s mainly
aimed at new drivers in the first year after passing their test |
|
Pass Plus consists of six modules about driving in different
conditions |
- in town
- in all weathers
- on rural roads
- at night
- on dual carriageways
- on motorways
