Pass Plus

Pass Plus is a training scheme for new drivers. Its aim is to improve your driving skills and make you a safer driver. It can also lead to insurance discounts. The scheme has been designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), with the help of the motor insurance and driving instructor industries, to develop your skills and knowledge in areas where you may have limited experience.

As an indication of its effectiveness, a recent survey of L test candidates carried out by ORC internationalfor DSA, showed that those that had taken Pass Plus 93% felt more confident on the road and 89% considered that their driving skills had improved, as a result of taking the Pass Plus course. There is no test at the end of the course, instead you'll be assessed throughout: you must cover all the modules to complete the course.


Pass Plus Modules

The modules that you will cover on the course are:

  • Module 1: Introduction & Town Driving
  • Module 2: All-Weather Driving
  • Module 3: Out of Town Driving & Rural Roads
  • Module 4: Night Driving
  • Module 5: Dual Carriageways
  • Module 6: Motorways

When you successfully complete Pass Plus you will have demonstrated that you have developed your existing skills and have acquired new skills and knowledge, know how to anticipate, plan for and deal with hazards safely, understand how you can reduce the risk of having a road accident, and can maintain a courteous and considerate attitude to other road users.

Then the DSA will then send you a Pass Plus certificate of completion showing that you have successfully completed the course.
