Pass Plus Course

Pass Plus is an extra driving qualification that you can take to improve your skills after passing your driving test. It’s not mandatory but it could make you a better driver and might lower your insurance costs.

The course, set up by the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), can be taken at any time, although it’s likely to be most beneficial to new drivers in the year after passing their test. It can be taken with a qualified driving instructor in your local area and you don’t need to take an extra test to complete it.

During the training, you’ll gain new skills and practical experience by dealing with situations that you may not have covered in standard driving lessons. These will help to build your confidence, awareness and overall safety on the road.

Pass Plus should make you less likely to be involved in an accident on the road and therefore less of a risk in the eyes of insurance providers. And if your insurance provider sees you as less of a risk, that could result in lower premiums (the amount you pay for your car insurance).
