Pass Plus Explained

Pass Plus is a practical training course that 4front Driving School offer to those who have recently passed their test. You don't have to have taken your test with 4front Driving School to do the course. It takes at least 6 hours and is for drivers to improve their skills and drive more safely.

It can be taken at any time although it should be most useful to new drivers in the year after passing their test.

You’ll need a Pass Plus registered approved driving instructor (ADI) which 4front Driving School can provide you with to teach you.

You can book your Pass Plus course direct with 4front Driving School.

The fee for the course is £150

How Pass Plus training works

Pass Plus training takes at least 6 hours. It has 6 modules, covering driving:

in town
in all weathers
on rural roads
at night
on dual carriageways
on motorways

All modules should be practical sessions, although local conditions may mean some are theory based. You’ll normally spend at least 5.5 hours driving.

You will not take a test but you’ll be assessed throughout the course. To pass you’ll have to reach the required standard in all modules.

Apply for a Pass Plus certificate

You must apply for your own Pass Plus certificate if you want one.

You need a certificate if you want a discount on your car insurance.

You’ll get a training report form from your instructor when you’ve reached the required standard in all modules. You and your instructor must sign the form.

Send the signed form to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). You’ll be sent a certificate by post.

crossings

Types of pedestrian crossings When learning to drive a focus of a lesson can be based around pedestrian crossings. During your driving test, the examiner will be looking at how you deal with or react to pedestrian crossings. They want to make sure that you are planning ahead, showing awareness and responding to them them in the safest possible way. Pedestrian crossings get put into two main categories – uncontrolled and traffic light controlled. For all crossings: -In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear. On approach to a crossing there will be white zigzag lines on both sides of the road to highlight there is a pedestrian crossing ahead – these also prevent people parking at any time and is a place you make no attempt to overtake. You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians may be crossing between stationary vehicles. Allow pedestrians plenty of time to cross and ...

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test This part of the test is your independent driving part and it’ll last around 20 minutes - roughly half of the test. Following directions from a sat nav During the independent driving part of the test, most candidates will be asked to follow directions from a sat nav. The examiner will provide the sat nav (a TomTom Start 52) and set it up. You won’t need to set the route - the examiner will do this for you. So, it doesn’t matter what make or model of sat nav you practise with. You can’t follow directions from your own sat nav during the test - you have to use the one supplied by the examiner. You’ll be able to ask the examiner for confirmation of where you’re going if you’re not sure. It won’t matter if you go the wrong way unless you nake a fault while doing it. One in 5 driving tests won’t use a sat nav. You’ll need to follow traffic signs instead. If you are interested in learning to drive then please call Simon at 4front Driving School on 0790565722...

Reverse Bay Park

Reverse Bay Park You might have to reverse bay park on your driving test which would take place at your local test centre if they have a car park, if they don't have a car park then you will not be asked to complete this manoeuvre. There are several different methods of achieving a reverse bay park, but at 4front Driving School we want our students to find a technique that suits them. Most students will choose the 45 degree method as it will work in almost all situations. Here is the 4front Driving School guide to the 45 degree technique. Reversing into a bay has always been described as being the safer option than driving forward into one as you'll have a better view when driving forward out of it, especially if you have vehicles either side of you. There's not much room for error when parking in between cars but in your driving test you'll probably be able to do this with empty bays either side. Once you have passe your test you may also wan...
