Pass
Plus is backed by the Government, Driving Standards Agency and
Insurers. It is designed to make newly qualified drivers become
better drivers and gives you a number of other benefits, such
as cheaper motor insurance.
• The Course consists of six specially designed training
sessions to follow on from a successful practical driving test,
these are:
Driving
in town, out of town, in all weathers, at night, on dual carriageways
and on motorways.
•
You can take Pass Plus up to a year after passing your practical
driving test. The course should take around 6 hours. There is
no further test to take at the end of the training. Once your
instructor is satisfied with your performance you receive a
certificate from the Driving Standards Agency.
•
Motor Insurers (currently representing over 63% of the UK private
car market) that support the scheme will give you a one-year's
no claims bonus for comprehensive, third party fire and theft
and third party policies as soon as you insure your own car.
This can be deferred for 2 years if you currently drive under
someone else's policy, so long as you have not had any claims.
A
6 hour Pass Plus course costs £130 and can be taken intensively
in one or two days.
