Pass Plus Scheme

PASS PLUS is a road safety initiative aimed at improving the skills of novice drivers.
New drivers are more likely to have a crash in their first two years of driving than at any other time in their driving career.

This is where PASS PLUS comes in. After pupils pass their test they can pay for structured tuition from a registered PASS PLUS instructor.

Pupils reaching the required standard should be entitled to a substantial discount on their motor insurance premium from companies supporting the scheme. There is no test at the end of the course as your driving is assessed by you instructor.


The course covers six modules:

Module 1
Town driving

The first module begins with an introduction to PASS PLUS, explaining the course aims and the skills and knowledge to be covered.

The second part of the module is a practical session, covering the different features of driving in town, such as complex junctions and public transport. You'll concentrates on

  • observation, judgmental and awareness
  • eye contact
  • consideration for vulnerable road users
  • being cautious but not over cautious, and
  • keeping space around your car
Module 2

As much of this module as possible should be covered in a practical session. You'll focus on correct speed, safe stopping distances, plus seeing and being seen in
