Pass plus for young drivers

Helping new drivers become better drivers

The scheme was designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) with the help of insurers and the driving instruction industry.

Young drivers are much more likely to be involved in a crash on the roads, often due to inexperience and a lack of knowledge of the risks. About 1 in 4 deaths on the road are drivers aged 17 to 24.
