Passing your driving test is just the beginning...
PASS PLUS is a six-module training syllabus designed by DSA to develop the skills and knowledge of newly qualified drivers and broaden their driving experience- building their driving skills, knowledge and hazard awareness.
Why do PASS PLUS?

The Solution- PASS PLUS offers new drivers professional instruction, helping them to-
gain quality driving experience safely
become a more skillful driver
develop a positive style which is both enjoyable and safe
reduce the risk of being involved in an accident
