Once you have successfully passed your driving test in Barnsley, you will probably
be looking forward to driving on your own. However, did you know that in the first
year of driving one in five newly qualified drivers will be involved in some sort
of motoring accident.
Why?
One of the main reasons is a lack of experience. Particularly vulnerable are new
young drivers. While they account for only 10% of licence holders, they are much
more vulnerable to accidents, being involved in approximately 20% of accidents where
there is an injury.
To address this important road safety issue, the Pass Plus scheme was introduced
to provide further training for new drivers. It is backed by the DVSA and builds
upon the skills you acquired enabling you to pass the driving test.
By developing your awareness and positive driving skills, it should enable you to
become a safer and better driver. As a result of this, some insurance companies will
offer a discount on your motor insurance policy (subject to insurance companies terms
and conditions).
The course involves a minimum of six hours further training in and around Barnsley,
and comprises six modules.
Following an introduction to the Pass Plus course these are:
- Town Driving
- Out of Town Driving
- All Weather Driving
- Night Time Driving
- Driving on Dual Carriageways
- Motorway Driving
The cost of the Pass Plus course is £240.00 for the recommended six hours training.
