Course Details
You’ve probably heard about Pass Plus, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency’s (DVSA) course of six lessons which helps provide valuable additional driving experience and teaches you how to deal with a wide range of road and traffic situations that you may not have encountered whilst learning. Pass Plus has proved effective in building on existing skills and knowledge, reducing the risk of being in a road crash and saving money on car insurance. For more details about Pass Plus click here.
