Pass Plus

Pass Plus consists of six modules:

1. Town driving

   Candidates are taught to more confidently navigate complex junctions, make best use of their observational and awareness skills, and understand the need for space around their car. The needs of vulnerable road users are also highlighted.

2. All-weather driving

   This module helps drivers understand how varying weather conditions can affect the way a car behaves. The Pass Plus course covers the reasons why bad weather, resulting in reduced stopping distances and poorer visibility, should prompt you do drive more slowly. It also introduces the concept of skidding and how to avoid it.

3. Rural driving

   Driving in the countryside brings the risks of blind bends and brows, more challenging overtaking, and the chance of meeting slow vehicles and animals.

4. Night driving

   A module designed to get drivers confident about driving with headlamps, getting used to night-time dazzle and distractions, plus judging distance and manoeuvring in the dark.

5. Dual-carriageways

   You should have driven on dual-carriageways before taking your test, but this module brings more experience and concentrates on judgement and observation, safe distances, lane use and using slip roads.

6. Motorways

   Motorway driving will be all new if you’ve just passed your test, and as well as getting valuable experience of using the motorway, you’ll also learn about correct lane use and overtaking, what to do if you break down, and focus on the rules around lights.

All modules should be practical sessions, although local conditions may mean some are theory based.
