Pass Plus information
from On The Road in Doncaster | Well Done!
You have passed your driving test and can now drive by yourself. This is an exciting time – driving gives
you freedom and independence. However, it is also very expensive – insurance premiums for new drivers can often far
exceed the cost of a car.
Why?
Statistics
show new drivers of any age are more likely to have an accident within the first two years of passing their test than at
any other time in their driving careers. It is basically down to a lack of experience. Insurance premiums reflect the increased
risk.
What can you do about this?
Sign
up for Pass Plus, a training scheme for new drivers. |It is designed to develop your skills and knowledge to make you a safer
driver.
No Further Test Is Required
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 within a familiar area, as there are time constraints
and lessons objectives to consider. Pass Plus provides the opportunity to drive out of your local areas, extending your
driving experience safely. Build On Your Existing Skills & Knowledge
You already know how to drive so your Pass Plus sessions will be different to a driving lesson. You will
develop your | |  | | | confidence and ability to deal with unfamiliar
road and traffic conditions under the guidance of an experienced professional.
Reduce
our Risk of Being in a Collision
Anticipation and planning are key skills in recognising and
dealing with hazards safely. These skills develop over time, but often not soon enough to prevent inexperienced drivers
having a collision. The Pass Plus course is designed to help you develop these key skills quickly to keep you safer.
Save Money on Your Insurance Premiums.
Many 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. |
