Pass Plus

Pass Plus is a training course specifically aimed at new drivers, designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) with the help of insurers and the driving instruction industry. Pass Plus builds upon your existing skills and knowledge; teaches you how to anticipate plan for and deal with all kinds of hazards; and can help you to become more confident on the roads. Pass Plus is made up of six practical modules that include:

• driving in town
• driving in all weathers
• driving on rural roads
• driving at night
• driving on dual carriageways
• driving on motorways

Anyone who holds a full UK licence is eligible to take part in the scheme. You will not have to take a test at the end of the course but you will be continually assessed. You must successfully complete all the modules in the course to an achieved or exceeded standard.

Pass Plus and motor insurance

When you successfully complete Pass Plus you will usually qualify for a substantial discount on your motor insurance policy. Motor insurers who support the scheme offer discounts on the following types of policies:

• comprehensive
