It was designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) with the help of insurance companies and the driving instructor industry.A Pass Plus course builds on the skills and knowledge that you have already acquired.It will teach you how to anticipate,plan for and deal with all kinds of hazards.This will help you to become a more confident driver.

You can take a Pass Plus course at any time but it is specifically aimed at a new driver who has passed their test within a one year period. 

The pass plus course is made up of 6 Lessons about driving in different conditions:
