Did you know?
- Around 30% of all road traffic accidents each year involve drivers aged between 17 and 24 and who are also largely at fault. Government statistics show that those who have taken the Pass Plus course, are less likely to be involved in road traffic accidents and those who are, are less likely to be at fault.
- When you successfully complete the course, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will send you a certificate, which you will need in order to claim your insurance discount.
- The insurers in the scheme represent over 63% of the private car insurance market and will offer discounts of up to 30% for new drivers who have completed the Pass Plus scheme.
- Most participating insurers will give you a one year's no claims bonus as soon as you insure your own car. You may be able to defer the bonus for up to two years.
- You can take the Pass plus course at any time in your driving career, but it's mainly aimed at new drivers in the first year after passing their test.
- If you passed your test more than a year ago, you should check with participating insurance companies whether you'll still be eligible for discounts before taking part in the Pass Plus course.
