You have writen in the DT about further training for young drivers which can reduce insurance costs. I cannot find details on these pages . Can you help me please.
Re: INSURANCE - John Slaughter
It's called 'Pass Plus', and registered driving instructors provide it. Typically it's 6 hours in different conditions after the driver has passed the standard driving test. Covers Motorways, night driving, bad weather etc., and is an intro. to advanced driving. No test at the end, just a 'course completed' Certificate from DETR. Paul Ripley in the DT recommends a Grade 5 or 6 Instructor, so ask what grade they are

However, ring around plenty of insurance companies if you're putting a young driver on your Policy. Quotes for adding my 18 year onto a Corsa varied unbelievably. I suspect this variation is more significant than any discount brought on by a Pass Plus certificate, but it's still well worth the new driver doing Pass Plus! It improved my daughter's driving.
