DRIVER FOR LIFE WITH PASS PLUS

Pass plus is aimed a new drivers to improve their driving, make them safe and skilful drivers and to gain more experience.

The DSA (Driving Standards Agency) along with insurance companies and driving instructors feel that although a new driver has the competence to pass the test, it would benefit them to take pass plus and deal with new situations.

There is no test to complete the pass plus, the instructor will assess your driving throughout and grade you.

The course is divided into six modules and they are listed as followed:
