You don't have to take a Pass Plus course after you've passed your driving test.

But it will make you a better, more confident driver and reassure you and your loved ones that you have the skills you need to drive on today's busy roads - on motorways, on rural roads, in town centres and in all types of weather.

The full six hour course is good value at £200 (£180 if you passed your driving test with us) but you could reduce the cost even more. Lincolnshire County Council sometimes subsidise the cost of this life saving advanced driver training. Email stayingalive@lincolnshire.gov.uk or call 01522 805 800 for details.

You don't need to do the complete course. Any part of the course - motorways, rural roads, driving in town centres, driving at night or in poor weather - can be bought separately.

If you do the complete course you will be taught how to drive on motorways, in busy town centres, how to drive at night, on fast country lanes, in poor weather and more.

There's more information on the government website

PASS PLUS consists of six practical modules which cover driving in town, in all weathers, on rural roads, at night, on dual carriageways.

• The course lasts 6 hours and can either be taken in 2 sessions of 3 hours or 1 session of 6 hours with rest breaks.

• Course sessions are held in the mornings, afternoons and evenings, - you can take the whole course in 1 day or over 2 days or evenings. You don’t take a test at the end, instead you will be assessed and awarded a Pass Plus certificate.
