Pass Plus         

You`ve passed your driving test - now you can drive on your own at last. But it doesn`t stop there; this is just the end of the beginning.

Getting your own car will give you the independence you need. For a new driver, the cost of insurance can be sky high.

And the reason for this?                                                                                       

Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident in the first two 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.

Did you know??

Every day in Britain, 2 under 25s die in road accidents.

In the first year of driving, one driver in five is involved in an accident.

During the first two years - if you get six points on your Driving Licence, for speeding, going through a red light or any other driving offence, you will have your Driving Licence taken away from you. You will then be back to square one, and will have to reapply for a Provisional Licence and retake all your tests in order to get back on the road.

This is why your insurance premiums can be extremely high.

This is where PASS PLUS can help!

A Pass Plus Course consists of a minimum of six hours training, and the emphasis is on developing your practical driving skills.

There is no test at the end, instead you are assessed throughout by your instructor and must cover all six modules to complete the training.

When you have successfully completed the course, you will be issued with a Certificate of Completion.

You will then be eligible for a substantial discount on your Car Insurance with most Insurers (always check first to see which company offers the best discount for your particular requirements).
