Pass plus is aimed at making new drivers become better drivers. Statistics show that newly-qualified drivers pose a far greater risk on the road than those with more years under their belts. This is mainly due to a lack of experience dealing with situations that they may never have encountered during normal lessons:
- Driving on motorways
- Driving on dual carriageways
- Driving in poor or adverse weather conditions
- Driving in busy town centres
- Driving on rural roads with varying speeds limits and hazards
- Driving on country lanes and possibly single-track roads
- Driving at night
Pass plus is currently not compulsory and requires the newly-qualified driver to sit just a minimum of six additional hours (more hours can be taken should there be a need) covering the subjects above, and the great thing about it is that there is no test to pass.
You can also gain a significant discount off your insurance premium, but best of all, you’ll gain confidence and vital experience in a wide range of situations and scenarios. There are a growing number of insurance companies who are supporting Pass Plus. Please check with your intended insurer first. Remember, you can and should where possible shop around for insurance quotes.
