How to improve your driving skills and save money on your car insurance
Well done! Now that you've passed your driving test, you can drive on your own at last. Getting your first car is a great buzz but, for a new driver, the cost of insurance can be high.
The reason for this? - Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident in the first 2 years of passing their test than at any other time in their driving career.
Age doesn't matter - it's basically down to a lack of driving experience. And that's where PASS PLUS comes in.
Pass Plus is a training course specificaly aimed at new drivers, designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) with the help of insurers and the driving instruction industry. Pass Plus will build upon your existing skills and knowledge, it will teach you how to anticipate, plan and deal with all kinds of hazards, and can help you to become more confident on the roads
Pass Plus is made up of six practical modules which include:
driving in town
driving in all weathers
driving on rural roads
driving at night
driving on dual carriageways
driving on motorways
Anyone who holds a full UK licence is eligible to take part in the scheme. You will not have to take a test at the end of the course but you will be continually assessed. You must successfully complete all the modules in the course to an achieved or exceeded standard.
