Our experienced instructors show you how to handle realistic driving situations in a relaxed and supportive environment at Best Drive. Pass Plus is a great way to make your driving safer, more confident and more worthwhile once you’ve passed your driving test, or even if you don’t.
What Is Pass Plus?
Pass Plus is a practical training course developed for the driver who has just passed their practical driving test. Pass Plus is not just any driving lesson; it’s an opportunity to build confidence in scenarios that many novice drivers haven’t encountered before.
There is no other practical driving test in the course. Rather, you will take a series of structured driving lessons with a qualified instructor who will evaluate your progress throughout the course.
The aim is simple. Make you a safer, more confident and more competent driver.
Why Choose Pass Plus Manchester?
Manchester has many different driving conditions to offer that put drivers to the test on a regular basis. There are so many roads out there, and experience on these roads can make you a better driver whether it’s in a busy city centre, dual carriageway or motorway.
There are several advantages to taking Pass Plus Manchester.
Boost your driving self-assurance. Enhance driving confidence.
The biggest fear of many drivers after passing their test is driving for the first time without a driver next to them. Pass Plus is an additional practice with expert support to help you feel more confident in your driving skills.
Develop advanced driving techniques.
The course covers more than just the driving test syllabus. You will enhance your planning, observation, hazard awareness and decision-making.
Travel in varying weather conditions. Drive on different roads during different weather conditions.
You will be driving on a range of roads, including some rural roads, urban roads, dual carriageways and motorways (where available).
Avoid Sharing the Road
By learning to be safe drivers as kids, you’re less likely to get into an accident and gain confidence in your driving.
What Does the Pass Plus Course Cover?
The Pass Plus course is made up of a series of practical driving sessions, where learners get a taste of other driving situations.
Town Driving
For any busy urban road, excellent observation and planning are essential. You will be shown how to deal with traffic, cyclists, pedestrians, parked cars and complex junctions.
All-Weather Driving
While the weather may not always be forecast during lessons, your instructor will provide information on how to drive safely in rain, fog, ice, strong winds and poor visibility.
Rural Roads
Sharp turns, inconsistent speed limits, and potential hazards can all be found on country roads. You will be able to make adjustments in speed and improve observation.
Night Driving
There is an extra level of consciousness needed when driving at night. You will learn to use headlights properly, and gain an understanding of identifying hazards in advance.
Dual Carriageways
Better lane discipline and anticipation are necessary on higher speed roads. Safe overtaking, joining traffic and maintaining safe following distances will be taught to you by your instructor.
Motorway Driving
After passing their driving test, many pupils don’t have much experience of driving on motorways. Pass Plus provides useful experience of using motorways, when appropriate, for entering, exiting and driving safely.
Who Should Take Pass Plus?
While Pass Plus is aimed at newly qualified drivers, many other drivers may benefit from taking the course.
Newly Qualified Drivers
Gain valuable experience before developing bad driving habits.
Nervous Drivers
Pass Plus offers extra support from an experienced instructor if you’re not sure about your pass after the test.
These are the steps drivers should take after being removed from the road.

Company Car Drivers
Some employers prefer their drivers to have further driver training due to their commitment to road safety.
