Pass Plus
Congratulations you've passed your Driving Test, so what do you do next?
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 (approximately 1 years no claims bonus).
The scheme has been designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), with the help of the motor insurance
and driving instruction industries, to develop your skills and knowledge in areas where you may have limited
experience.
So what does it involve?
The Pass Plus is made up of six modules covering Town driving, All-weather driving, Driving out of town,
Night driving, Dual carriageways and Motorways. Your instructor assesses the modules over a minimum of
6 hours, with no test at the end.
You can take your Pass Plus any time in your driving career, but it's mainly aimed at new drivers in the
first year after passing their test.
The Pass Plus costs £140.00, and if you stay in West Lothian, you will be able to claim a refund of
£55.00 of your course costs from the Lothian and Borders Road Safety Officer. This saving along with
your potential insurance discount may even save you more than the cost of the course itself.
