Pass
Plus
Pass Plus is a scheme backed by the Government's Driving Standards
Agency and insurers to encourage newly qualified drivers to become
better drivers.
Pass Plus gives extra experience and positive driving skills that
would otherwise take a long time to acquire.
Pass Plus consists of an additional course of six specially designed
training sessions to follow on from a successful practical driving
test. They cover driving:
in town
out of town
in all weather
at night
on dual carriageways
on motorways
There is no further test to take, when your instructor is satisfied
with your performance you receive a certificate from the Driving Standards
Agency.
Pass Plus really works in helping to make newly qualified drivers
safer and better drivers. Many insurers give a discount to people
taking Pass Plus - equivalent to a one-year no claims bonus.
WHO CAN TAKE PART?
You
can take Pass Plus within your first year of passing the practical
driving test.
Your
Pass Plus instructor can provide more information on the scheme
including the content of the training sessions and the small cost
involved.
The
Pass Plus hotline telephone number
for information is 0115 901 2633
DID YOU KNOW?
As
a new driver, you are more likely to have an accident in the first
year after passing your test than at any other time in your motoring
career.
Per
mile of driving, the risk of an accident involving injury or death
is about seven times greater for 17-20 years old than for those
aged 40 or over.
Drivers
under 21 are involved in 15% of all accident deaths.
New
drivers make up just 10% of licence holders, but are involved in
29% of accidents.
If
you've got any further questions about the scheme, you can go to

Plus Website, or contact us directly for more information,
