Pass Plus Scheme
The Pass Plus scheme is a Government backed scheme aimed at reducing the number of accidents amongst new drivers.
The course consists of six one hour lessons after you have passed your test. Normally it has to be completed within one year of passing the test. The greatest benefits however are obtained by starting shortly after your driving test.
The subjects covered on the Pass plus Course are: Town Driving, All Weather Driving, Rural Roads, Dual Carriageways, Motorways and Night time driving.
There is no examination at the end of the course, but your instructor has to certify that your driving has been of a satisfactory standard.
On completion of the course you will get a form signed by your Instructor which you will be able to send off to obtain a certificate from the Pass Plus unit.
The practical test now includes eye sight check, vehicle safety questions (available on the DSA website) and the actual driving. The test costs £48.50 for a weekday test before 4.30pm. You need to be able to read a number plate at 20.5metres, you will be asked 2 questions about vehicle checks, and then the drive. The drive will last for about 37 minutes and includes 2 manoeuvers and on some tests an emergency stop. To pass the practical test you must not make more than 15 driving faults and must commit no serious or dangerous faults.
