It is a great feeling when you pass your driving test. After all the hard work (and expense!) of learning to drive and preparing for the test you are suddenly free to drive on your own and go wherever you want, whenever you want.

As an Instructor I get great satisfaction from getting people through but this is always tempered by a slight feeling of concern because although I do my best to make sure the people I teach are really good drivers, I know that the statistics show how vulnerable they are in their first couple of years of driving.

Two people under the age of 25 years die every day on the roads in the UK and in their first year of driving one driver in five is involved in a road traffic accident.

But it isn’t the drivers’ youth that is the problem – it is their lack of experience. It is all very well being able to get through your driving test but you will only become a really good driver when you have built up a wider range of experiences of different driving situations than pre-test driving lessons are able to give you. For instance, learner drivers are not allowed to drive on motorways.

Pass Plus is designed to enable you to develop your driving experience with the guidance of a professional Driving Instructor and therefore reduce the risk that you will be involved in an accident. But there is another benefit too...

..many motor insurance companies offer substantial reductions (up to 50% in some cases) on your insurance premium if you have taken a course (you normally get the refund after you have entered the period of insurance cover so it doesn’t usually matter if you have already taken out a policy).

The Pass Plus course involves a minimum of six hours of driving tuition covering driving on motorways, dual carriageways, rural roads, urban roads, driving at night and in differing weather conditions. You don’t need to take another driving test to get your Pass Plus certificate; the Driving Instructor assesses you over the six hours and if you achieve the required standard of driving you will receive your certificate.

Only fully qualified Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructors can offer Pass Plus training. I am registered as a Pass Plus Instructor. If you are interested in finding out more please feel free to telephone me or you could send an email to the address given on this website.
