What Is a Pass Plus Course?
Pass Plus is an advanced driving scheme developed by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). It’s a practical training course that takes at least six hours to complete and covers driving situations that aren’t usually part of standard lessons. The goal is to help drivers gain experience in more challenging conditions and become safer, more confident motorists.

Town Driving in Hounslow and Beyond
Urban driving can be stressful, particularly in busy areas like Hounslow, West London, and central London. You’ll encounter congested traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, buses, and delivery vehicles all at once. Through Pass Plus training, you’ll learn how to remain calm, anticipate hazards, and make safe, efficient decisions in high-pressure situations.
Tackling the Weather with Confidence
British weather is famously unpredictable, and it’s one of the biggest challenges for new drivers. Rain-slicked roads, icy mornings, or thick fog can all increase accident risks. During your Pass Plus course, our instructors will teach you how to adjust speed, maintain grip, and control braking and steering in poor weather conditions. These skills could one day save your life.
Night Driving Skills
Driving at night is very different from driving during the day. Reduced visibility, headlight glare, and fatigue make it harder to react quickly. Our Pass Plus course trains you to spot hazards earlier, use your lights correctly, and maintain awareness in the dark. By the end, you’ll feel comfortable taking journeys after sunset.
Mastering Rural Roads
Country lanes may look quiet, but they often present unique risks such as sharp bends, hidden junctions, and agricultural vehicles. High speeds on rural roads also leave less room for error. Through practical training, you’ll learn to judge bends, use the road effectively, and drive with caution while maintaining confidence.
Dual Carriageways and Overtaking Safely
Many new drivers feel nervous about overtaking or merging onto fast-moving roads. The Pass Plus course provides valuable experience on dual carriageways, teaching you how to assess gaps, change lanes smoothly, and keep a safe following distance. With expert guidance, overtaking will become a safe and controlled manoeuvre.
Building Motorway Confidence
Motorways are essential for modern travel but can be intimidating for new drivers. With speeds of up to 70 mph and heavy traffic, they require strong observation and planning skills. Pass Plus training gives you real motorway experience, helping you practice joining, leaving, and driving confidently at high speeds.
Insurance Discounts and Savings
One of the practical benefits of completing a Pass Plus course is that many insurance companies offer discounts to drivers who have completed it. For young or newly qualified drivers facing high premiums, this can mean significant savings while also making you a safer motorist.
Who Can Join?
Pass Plus is primarily aimed at new drivers within their first year of passing, but anyone can take it to improve their skills. Whether you’re nervous about motorway driving or simply want to sharpen your abilities, this course is a great choice.
