Pass Plus Course in Fallowfield
The DVSA-backed Pass Plus course helps newly qualified drivers in Fallowfield build essential skills that the driving test doesn't cover — motorway driving, night driving, all-weather handling, and driving on rural roads. Many insurers offer premium discounts to Pass Plus holders.
The Six Pass Plus Modules
Pass Plus covers six practical modules: town driving (building on test skills), all-weather driving (rain, fog, low sun), night driving (dipped beams, glare management, judging speed at night), rural roads (single-track lanes, bends, farm vehicles), dual carriageways (joining, lane discipline, overtaking), and motorways (the only module that includes real motorway driving with an instructor). We teach all six using real roads around Fallowfield and Greater Manchester.
Insurance Benefits
While we cannot guarantee specific discounts, many major insurers offer reduced premiums to Pass Plus certificate holders. For young drivers especially, this can save hundreds of pounds in the first year alone. The course typically takes 6 hours and can be completed in 2-3 sessions. Your instructor will register your completion with the DVSA.
