You've passed your test. Now you are ready for Pass Plus, the intensive training course that will help you become a better driver and get a discount on your insurance. So besides improving your driving skills, it could help you save money.

Why do Pass Plus

Statistically, new drivers account for almost 30% of all accidents on the UK's roads. New Drivers are also more likely to be involved in an accident in your first year of driving than at any other time. Pass Plus has been created to lower your chances of being involved in a serious accident and to offer valuable extra experience with a trained instructor.

Pass plus not only saves lives, it can also save you money. Because Pass Plus has been designed in association with the insurance industry, most insurance companies offer discounts which effectively covers the cost of doing a Pass Plus course.

Pass Plus should be taken within the first year of passing your driving test and must cover a minimum of 6 hours.

PASS PLUS MODULES

When you get your full driving license, you can book for a one day course of 6 specially designed training sessions.

Benefits of Pass Plus

As a new driver, you are more likely to have an accident in the first year than at any other time in your motoring career. Lack of experience means that you can be as much as TWO SECONDS slower than a more practiced motorist .

Young new drivers are especially vulnerable. They hold only 10% of licenses, but they are involved in 20% of road accidents in which someone is injured.

Pass Plus gives you valuable extra experience and positive driving skills that would otherwise take a long time to acquire. You should be a safer and better driver.
