Pass Plus Courses
You´re a fully qualified driver, a good driver, you must be because you´ve just passed the test. Now is the time to head for the motorway, you know all about motorways because you read it in that Highway Code book way back when!
MOTORWAYS
Depending one where you live it´s unlikely that you have driven at 70mph. But hey, doesn´t matter, not much different than driving at 40mph or even 50mph. You can handle it. So here goes, down the slip road to build up your speed to match the motorway 70mph traffic. Easy, piece of cake.
Then, Oh s*** the motorway is full of big artics and there´s nowhere to go and you don´t know what to do?
RURAL ROADS -TWISTING SHARP BENDS.
This area is surrounded by moorlands, with long open roads where you can gas it. What you don´t know is that at the top of the hill there is a U bend like the one on your toilet with a sheer drop on one side. It has crash barriers but depending on your speed and skill they won´t always throw you back into the road. Then what? It´s a long way down.
BAD WEATHER
The weather at street level is a bit damp, still a nice ride over the tops. You begin the long climb, then suddenly you´re in thick mist or cloud with visibility almost nil. This is where the instructor guides you on and up and if you´re lucky you climb higher than the horrible weather and you can stop and take a photo over the valley with a certain chimney poking it´s head out into the sunshine.
SHEEP
What has sheep got to do with Pass plus? Because you´re a good driver you can handle anything, you know how to take corners fast. But just around that corner are half a dozen baby lambs asleep in the middle of the road!!
They are just a few unimportant reasons for Pass Plus, but with insurance costs for young drivers constantly rising Pass Plus will save you money on your insurance. Don´t take my word for it, Here´s what a pupil had to say about it!

Pass Plus courses with Green School Of Motoring. in & around Ashton-u-lyne
So.. you've passed your driving test and can now drive by yourself. This is an exciting time! Driving gives you freedom and independence, however, it can also be VERY expensive!
insurance premiums for new drivers are often more than the
value of the car being insured.

SURELY THAT'S NOT FAIR?
Unfortuantely, statistics show that new drivers of any age are more likely to have a collission within the first two years of passing their test than at any other time in their driving career. While this is really just down to a lack of experience insurance premiums merely reflect the increased risk.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THIS?
Take a Pass Plus course in Ashton-u-lyne, a training scheme for new drivers. It is designed to develop your skills and knowledge to make you a safer driver.
