Pass Plus
Go beyond your test with structured modules that build real-world confidence and show insurers you've invested in safer driving.
Why Pass Plus?
Passing your driving test is just the start of your driving career. Driving gives you freedom and independence, and with that comes responsibility. So as a driver, you need to be prepared for every situation that you'll be facing on the road. However, it is also very expensive: the insurance premium for a newly qualified driver can often be more than the cost of their car. New drivers of any age are more likely to have an accident within the first two years of passing their test than at any other time in their driving career. The reason for this comes down to a lack of experience and not being "road aware". Insurers demand higher premiums to reflect this increased risk. Taking a Pass Plus driving course can help you reduce the chances of having an accident. Insurers recognise the value of Pass Plus training by offering lower premiums to Pass Plus certificate holders, especially new drivers.
What do I learn on a Pass Plus course?
- 01
Town driving
As the majority of motorists will experience urban driving the most, this module can be invaluable in helping you to brush up on your observational skills and increase your awareness levels. You'll learn how to navigate complex junctions, underpasses, and tram, bus, and cycle lanes.
- 02
All weather driving
If you haven't driven in extreme weather conditions before, it can be advantageous to learn how to cope with heavy rain, snow, ice, fog, and dazzling sunshine. Preventing and handling skidding is also covered in this section, as well as why stopping distances change in bad weather.
- 03
Driving on rural roads
Driving in the countryside brings with it different risks to driving in built-up areas, including blind bends, animals on the road, and overtaking slow vehicles. This section looks at safe passing places and what to do when you encounter sharp corners, horse riders, cyclists, farm vehicles, and debris on the road.
- 04
Night driving
You might not have had much experience with night driving before passing your test, so this module can help boost your confidence when taking to the roads after dark. It deals with the correct use of headlamps, adjusting to different light levels, getting used to being dazzled, and judging speeds and distance.
- 05
Driving on dual carriageways
You should have driven on dual carriageways before your test, but you might not feel as though you've fully got to grips with them. This module focuses on joining and leaving the carriageway via slip roads, as well as overtaking, lane discipline, and safe distances.
- 06
Driving on motorways
Although learners can now have lessons on motorways with an approved instructor, you probably won't have spent much time on them and could still find them intimidating. In this module, you'll learn how to drive at a safe speed in different conditions, deal with motorway fatigue, handle a breakdown, use lanes correctly, and follow signs.
