PASS PLUS

    Pass plus was introduced to newly qualified drivers to speed up the process of gaining good driving experience and teach positive driving skills.  There is no test to be taken although you have to complete at least 6 hours training.

The course covers areas such as,

             ATTITUDE-  To be considerate towards other drivers, to take care and be responsible for your         actions.

            SKILLS- To improve your observation, assessment of what you see, decision making and taking the correct course of action.

    The course of positive driving covers all different types of roads weather it be on a motorway or a single country lane, also covering where possible different weather conditions and also night driving.  If the subject can not be covered on the road then a theory session in the car will be covered.

    A newly qualified driver no matter what age is more likely to be involved in an accident because of there lack of experience on the road.

    After the course has been successfully completed then a few details will be taken on a form which I will send of to the DSA and you will receive a certificate through the post.  Not only will you have more experience, confidence and awareness on the road you could also get a 30% reduction on your insurance premium.
