What is PassPlus?   Passplus is a course designed for the recently qualified driver who wishes to take his or her driving to a higher level, more in tune with today's demanding driving conditions. 

If I take the course with drivertuition.com where will I drive?  You will receive instruction on some of the most demanding roads in the area, often quite different from the roads that you will have learned on. Challenging even???

Will PassPlus really improve my driving?  With us it will, guaranteed!  We guarantee that you'll come away having learned a great deal, as well as gaining the PassPlus standard and the insurance advantages that it provides.

How long does it take and is there a TEST?  We do whole day training courses, lasting a minimum of 6 hours, anywhere in the country.  There's no test, so, if you complete the course, you attain the standard and you reap the benefits. And the benefits?

The Benefits;  You receive a certificate from the Driving Standards Agency after completing the course. The course is validated by ourselves, as registered PassPlus providers. This can be used to obtain cheaper insurance quotes. If we consider you up to our own standards at the end of the session we will also introduce you to our preferred insurers who offer a discount for following our course.

Safety. In your first year of driving you have a one in four chance of having an accident. PassPlus has been shown to significantly reduce the likelihood of you being involved in a road traffic accident.  And we get you safer still. What price can you put on this?

The most important bit:  Enjoyment. Every one who has taken our course has found the course stimulating and rewarding:  And you don't do your lessons in a "learner car". You drive the course in a non-L-plated instruction car, such as the Fiat Panda 100HP below,  on roads very different to your Learner routes. So there's no reason to feel that you're back at the learner stage again. Think of it as going for the next level.

Why us?  Put simply, quality of driving instruction combined with a friendly manner. Your instructors are highly qualified in advanced driving, road safety and high speed techniques, and have instructed to a very high level and in all areas of car driving. Consider this: we've  instructed Police officers, race and rally drivers, very experienced drivers, pro footballers, coaches, even other instructors. IF we can teach them something new think what we can teach you.

We are very friendly and try to make it a great day. We are also very cost conscious and try to give the young driver a highly discounted rate - you are getting professional instruction at a minimum 30% discount over our normal courses. We support learning for younger drivers.

HIGH INSURANCE COSTS?

Pass Plus and motor insurance discount savings:

When you successfully complete PASS PLUS you will usually qualify for a substantial discount on your motor insurance policy. Motor insurers who support the scheme offer discounts on

• comprehensive
• third party fire and theft
• third party insurance policies.

If you took your driving test in the past year you will qualify for a discount (normally one year's no-claims bonus) with one of the participating insurers. The insurers in the scheme represent over 63% of the private car insurance market.

There are several insurers currently taking part in PASS PLUS.  When you take a passplus course with us we can advise you on best insurance offers and discounts currently available for new drivers. The savings can be substantial.

Comments from previous sessions:

Chris - "The passplus driving was brilliant. I thought I was pretty good but Mike showed me how wrong I was. I was ####. But, by the end of the day my driving was so much better and I learnt a load more than I did from my learner lessons."

Sam - " How bad was my driving!!! Mike showed my why my steering was so rubbish. The roads we drove were fantastic. And we didn't hang about. Mike encourages you to drive the car. Now I can see how rubbish all my mates are! I'd like to do some more sessions"

Angie - "Thanks for the day from me and my Dad - I think he learned more than me!"  (Dad sat in the back -which is fine if you want to do this)

Alan - "Thanks for letting me see how a race driver drives. I got 2 minors and thought I was good. This was like a different planet. How different was this to my learner lessons.  Can you take me out in the M3 again??? Please?"

Paul - "Thanks for improving my drive.  The advice on my steering I am really going to try and work on cause I could really feel the difference  when u drove the car. It felt like a different car:-)"

Andy - "I loved the Panda. Great car and a top day. Learnt loads - thanks."

Simme - "Best fun ever, and paid for by my mum!  :-)"

Remember, we run full-day passplus courses across the UK

There are 6 modules to the passplus course, each one validated by the instructor and graded as achieved or exceeded, once the required standard of competence has been achieved. Each passplus module can take around one hour, depending on previous experience. The modules may be blended into each other during the day, if a day course is taken.

TIME REQUIRED: 1 day out of area,  or 2 half day sessions if North-West based

Our course adds additional, more testing scenarios to the drive and takes about 1-2 hours longer than a typical passplus course - see prices

Some things to think about from your learner lessons:

What were you taught during your driving lessons about motorway driving techniques, dangers of foreign lorry blindspots, road surfaces and braking, blind bend negotiation, driving on ice?  Why is a salted road more dangerous than an unsalted one once the temperature rises?  Why are there twice as many deaths on a left hand bend as a right hand?

We add real value to the passplus course to ensure that you learn as much as we can possibly achieve. You will be given a flavour of advanced driving techniques during the course and all driving will be referenced to Roadcraft, the official Police driving manual, as used traffic police in training.

A minimum of 6 hours tuition covering the 6 prescribed modules as above.

Funds collected securely. Payment can be made by Paypal, Visa or MasterCard.  An additional fee may be added for out-of-area courses

This course adds to a typical passplus course by including much more testing road environments than you would normally encounter. These include some of the most difficult and testing motorway intersections in the UK and also particularly challenging country A-road sections, such as the A666 West Pennine route or the famous Cat & Fiddle Buxton-Macclesfield road: Statistically, this is one of the three most dangerous roads in the country, but on this course you can safely learn to recognise the hazards and deal with them effectively: Not to be missed for real driver improvement and confidence building.

The above covers significantly more mileage than the basic course, but it really sets the scene for greater understanding of today's roads and attendant risks. You may also be offered an opportunity to drive a high performance car if you demonstrate a high standard of drive. Definitely more than a "ticking the boxes" exercise.

Funds collected securely. Payment can be made by Paypal, Visa or MasterCard.  An additional fee may be required  for out-of-area courses. If more than 100 miles from WA4 we charge an additional £30.00 to cover travel costs.
