Existing drivers
Pass Plus
Pass Plus is an established training course, designed by the DSA for new drivers.
The course consists of six modules which provide experience of driving in different conditions (in town / in all weathers / on rural roads / at night / on dual carriageways / on motorways).
Pass Plus builds on the skills and knowledge you acquired when taking your DSA test to teach you to anticipate, plan for and deal with all sorts of hazards, and so become a more confident driver. The course takes a minimum of 6 hours to complete and should enable you to obtain a discount on your car insurance costs. Some local authorities also provide financial assistance to individuals wishing to take a Pass Plus course (up to 50% of course fees).
Refresher courses
Melbourne School of Motoring can provide a range of refresher driving courses, of varying length, tailored to suit the needs of the individual – for example:
- re-familiarisation courses - helping drivers who have passed their test but not driven for some time regain their confidence and rediscover their driving abilities;
- skills development courses - helping existing drivers deal with driving in adverse conditions, e.g. snow and ice, or overcoming weaknesses in specific areas, e.g. reverse bay parking;
- driving more efficiently and effectively – helping existing drivers to become more considerate drivers, improving anticipation skills and awareness, increasing fuel economy;
- providing an overview of the requirements of the UK DSA test for individuals holding overseas licences wishing to obtain a UK driving licence.
Motorway driving
Motorway driving is not examined as part of the standard DSA test, but is an essential driving skill in its own right.
Melbourne School of Motoring offers a tailored 2 hour lesson specifically focussed on motorway driving which is a worthwhile investment particularly for those who have recently passed their DSA test (with Melbourne School of Motoring or another driving school) but have no motorway driving experience.
Older driver assessments
As we age, our sight, hearing and judgement of speed may not be quite as good as they were when we were younger. Driving has also become more complex and demanding over the years, with lots more traffic on the roads and a proliferation of road signs and signals.
Melbourne School of Motoring offers a one hour driver assessment, aimed at identifying areas where older drivers may need to refresh their knowledge / rebuild their confidence in order to cope more effectively with the demands of 21st century motoring.
