Following its introduction back in 2006 the all Wales Pass Plus Cymru scheme has continued to grow. Capita Symonds Road Safety team in partnership with Road Safety Wales, MAC Driver Training and the five Unitary Authorities in South East Wales continue to promote and develop the scheme.
Since October 2006 successful courses have been run across Wales with new drivers receiving professional additional driving tuition.
Pass Plus Cymru is a Welsh Assembly Government funded project, and is aimed at young drivers (17-25) who have recently passed their test and aims to help them improve driving skills, gain extra experience, and possibly obtain a discount on their car insurance.
The course requires young drivers to attend an interactive classroom session followed by an eight hour `on-the-road in-car´ session (split between two drivers) with a Pass Plus registered Approved Driving Instructor.
The Pass Plus Cymru scheme comprises six specially designed modules which cover: driving around town, out of town, in all weathers, at night, on dual carriageways and on motorways. Also covered are defensive driving, hazard awareness, concentration, speed, drugs and drink driving, safe attitudes and behaviour.
Because the participants will be trained by a professional driving instructor, they´ll gain valuable extra experience and positive motoring skills that would otherwise take a long time to acquire.
Upon completion of the course each candidate will be issued with a Certificate of Achievement as well as the Pass Plus Certificate.
The cost of the course, which has been accredited by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), is £20, a significant discount from the normal cost of between £120 and £150.
