Pass PLUS
Any driver can take a Pass Plus course, however it is aimed mainly at new drivers within a year of passing their driving test.
As an Approved Driving Instructor Darren can train you as a new driver to become a better driver with the Pass Plus scheme which helps you complete the course in six training modules. The scheme has been devised with the help of insurers and the Driving Standards Agency aimed at new drivers to reduce the statistics that suggest that new drivers with less experience are more likely to be involved in an accident within the first two years after passing their driving test. It builds on awareness and proficiency to enable the new driver to anticipate danger and hazardous situations building confidence and safety awareness.
The six modules covered by the scheme include:
- Driving around Town
- Adverse Weather Conditions
- Country Roads
- Night Driving
- Dual Carriageways
- Motorways
The pass plus can be taken in 1,2 or 3hr sessions. Longest session is usually 5hrs due to the levels of concentration needed.
