Pass Plus courses with Andy Woodgate Driver Training Ltd in & around Weymouth
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 Weymouth, a training scheme for new drivers. It is designed to develop your skills and knowledge to make you a safer driver.

EXTEND YOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCE SAFELY
Your initial driver training should provide you with a varied range of road and traffic conditions, however, this training often takes place on familiar roads around Weymouth or other areas we cover, as there are time constraints and lesson objectives to consider. Pass Plus provides the opportunity to drive out of your this area, extending your driving experience safely.
BUILD ON YOUR EXISTING SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE
You already know how to drive so your Pass Plus sessions will be different to your previous driving lessons in Weymouth. You will develop your confidence and ability to deal with unfamiliar road and traffic conditions under the guidance of your Andy Woodgate Driver Training Ltd instructor.
SAVE MONEY ON YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS
Some insurance companies offer discounts to new drivers who have completed the Pass Plus course, so it is worth shopping around for the best deals. Although the discount is only offered on the first year‘s insurance, if you stay claim free, you will begin to build your no claims bonus, leading to lower premiums year on year.
