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.

The scheme has been designed by the Driving and Vehicles Standards Agency (DVSA), with the help of motor insurance and driving instruction industries, to develop your skills and knowledge in areas where you may have limited experience.

Pass Plus 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´ll be assessed throughout and you must achieve the objectives within each module to complete the training. Motorway driving is included as one of the Pass Plus modules.

Cumbria County Council and Cumbria Road Safety Partnership (CRSP) encourage drivers aged 17-24 years old who live in Cumbria and have passed their test within the last 12 months to register for Pass Plus by contributing part of the cost. Funding towards this varies depending on annual budgets. For the current position please click on the CRSP link.

EXTEND YOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCE SAFELY

Your initial driver training should provide you with a varied range of road and traffic conditions, however, this training often takes place on familiar roads around Grange-over-sands or other areas we cover, as there are time constraints and lesson objectives to consider. Pass Plus provides the opportunity to drive out of your this area, extending your driving experience safely.

BUILD ON YOUR EXISTING SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE

You already know how to drive so your Pass Plus sessions will be different to your previous driving lessons in Grange-over-sands. You will develop your confidence and ability to deal with unfamiliar road and traffic conditions under the guidance of your Drive to Arrive instructor.

SAVE MONEY ON YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS

Some insurance companies offer discounts to new drivers who have completed the Pass Plus course, so it is worth shopping around for the best deals. Although the discount is only offered on the first year‘s insurance, if you stay claim free, you will begin to build your no claims bonus, leading to lower premiums year on year.
